SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY EJECTMENT SUIT, 1752

BY L. H. HART

The following is an abstract of a suit to determine the rightful ownership of land. These suits, called ejectment suits, are often quite full of genealogical information, but are frequently overlooked by researchers, probably because of the peculiar way in which they are styled. Seth Seekright vs. Barnaby Badtitle, John Doe vs. Richard Roe, Seekright vs. Dreadnaught, Thrustout vs. Holdfast are some of the ways in which these suits may be styled and indexed, It is suggested that researchers may wish to examine further, when they come across cases so styled. This case was found in the Judgment papers, 1752, and is printed with the kind permission of the Circuit Court Clerk, Southampton County.

Seth Seekright complains of Edward Lundy that whereas James Lundy on the last day of August in the twenty fifth year of King George II in Nottoway Parish, Southampton County, had demised, granted, and to farm let to the said Seth Seekright 90 acres of land in the parish and county aforesaid from the first day of July then last past until the end of 10 years. He entered into possession. On the [torn] of August in the same year Edward Lundy forced him from the land and prevents him from returning. Injury and damage to him in the amount of 10 pounds. -16-

15 Oct. 1751 Barnaby Badtitle states that he is bringing suit and will enter a judgment and seek possession of the land at the next court to be held the second Thursday in November.

Subpoena to the Sheriff of Southampton Co. to summon Judith Coxey and Samuel Uestbrooke Sr. to give evidence for defendant on 2nd Thursday in April next, dated 14 March 25 th year of reign of George II. Executed by Michael Blow, Sheriff.

Deposition of Judith Coxey aged 77 years. The child who was called James Lundy was born of the body of Sarah Sherard, a single woman, and she was at his birth, and he was a base born child. The mother of the child lived and died Sarah Sherard and that she carried the child from house to house, 6 or 7 years afterwards. She bound him to Thomas Vincin, a taylor, where he continued until there was an ill report of Vincin, which caused James Lundy the reputed father of the child to remove him to Robert Burchets to learn the trade of cooper. She believes he continued there until he came of age.

THE THWEATT FAMILY

by Claiborne Thweatt Smith, Jr.

James Thweatt was the founder of this family in Virginia. The only other person of this surname to appear in the early records was one William Thweatt who was listed as a headright in a 1673 grant to Philip Watkins in New Kent County. He did not appear to have left issue, and his relationship to James Thweatt is not known. On 12 Nov. 1707, James' made a deposition that he was about 64 years of age and had been familiar with the Nottoway River and the Nottoway Indian tribe for 48 years. This places his birth about 1643 and his arrival in Virginia prior to 1659. According to the book by Silas Allen Thweatt: Nine Hundred Years of Thweatt Bloodline Family History, (1955), the surname is a variant of the more common Thwaite and in old English signifies "a clearing in the wood". This volume will henceforth be referred to as S i 1 as . The English research of S. A. Thweatt, later amplified by Jean Timberlake Stafford, suggests that James Thweatt i , the immigrant to Virginia, was theperson of that name who was baptized 28 Feb. 1643/44 in the parish of St. Peter-le-Moor , Little Bolton, Lancashire, England, -20 the son of a John Thweatt. John, in turn, had been baptized 28 June 1607, the son of Michael Thweatt. The marriage of John Thweatt does not appear in the register and his wife, whose name is unknown, undoubtedly came from another parish. There is no record of John's death and burial. Michael Thweatt, the father of John Thweatt, b. 1607, and grandfather of James, who is presumed to have come to Virginia, married Dorothy Ashworth in St. Peters on 20 June 1602. Michael was churchwarden of the parish in 1644 and was buried 24 Nov. 1654. His widow, did not long survive him and as "ye wife of ould Michael Thweatt" was buried 4 Dec. 1655. The will of Michael Thweatt was dated 10 Oct. 1654, and was probated in London, as required during the Commonwealth, on 10 Mar. 1655. It mentioned, among others, the children of his sons John and James. From the wording of the will, these two sons may have predeceased their father. It is of interest that Michael's grandson James, son of James, settled in Barbados where he died testate in 1676, leaving issue. In his will, Michael Thweatt referred to himself as a mercer, calling to mind that Bolton, of which Little Bolton was a part, had been a textile center from Medieval times, and was later to play a prominent role in the Industrial Revolution. The ancient parish church of St. Peter was replaced by a modern building in 1870.

The 1707 previously mentioned deposition made by the immigrant James i Thweatt to Virginia, related to the long standing boundary dispute between North Carolina and Virginia, an issue that was not resolved until 1728. The 1665 North Carolina charter defined the boundary as starting on the north end of Currituck. Inlet and running due west to Weyanoke Creek. By 1707, the name Weyanoke had been lost and there was disagreement as to whether it had later become known as the Nottoway River. Thweatt, among others, was questioned by the Virginia government as a man advanced in years and as one who had been familiar with the river over a period of years. The section was then unsettled and James Thweatt at an earlier time in his life, may have been an Indian trader. Thweatt "s Branch, first mentioned in a land grant in 1701, flowing east into Hunting Quarter Creek, and south of the present Sussex County Court House, is a reminder of his early association with the Nottoway River area.

James* Thweatt settled on Bailey's Run in Charles City County (after 1702,, Prince George) near the present city of Hopewell. He was granted 600 acres on Bailey's Creek 22 April 1670 and on 15 Mar. 1673 received an additional 550 acres adjoining the first grant, and described as lying on Bailey's Creek and the Blackwater. In both these patents, he himself was listed as an headright, implying he had paid his own passage to the colony and had made a return visit to England. On 22 April 1682, he and Henry Batte took out a 673 acre grant near the lands they both already held. As James' Thweatt, Sen. , he was -21- granted 125 acres 20 April 1689, again near his other holdings. In the Virginia rent roll of 1704, he was listed with 700 acres.

The immigrant James' Thueatt was married at least twice and possibly three times. In 1693 his wife Mary waived her dower in two deeds in which Thweatt and Henry Batte sold parts of their 1682 joint grant. She was dead by 1 June 1700, when, according to a Charles City fragment in the Library of Congress, James Thweatt and Mary, the widow of Henry Batte sold land to Mathew Sturdivant. In 1702 James* Thweatt married his last wife Judith Soane of Henrico Co. and had four children by her. James^ 1 Thweatt, Jr. , the oldest son of James , was born by 1667 and was apparently a good bit older than his brothers Henryz and John^ who seem to have been the sons of Mary. This seems to indicate that he was the issue of an earlier marriage. There is a hint in the surviving records that Mary, the wife of James* Thweatt may have been the daughter of John and Judith Lee of Charles City. Mary "Thwaite" and John Lee are listed together as headrights in a grant to Laurence Smith in Gloucester in 1671. According to the Charles City court orders for 5 Aug. 1689,

Capt . Henry Batte was requested to decide the difference between Judith, the relict of John Lee deed, and James Thweatt, it being a very inconsiderable matter.

There was an unexplained relationship between James Thweatt and George Archer (1654-1731) of Henrico. On 1 Dec. 1702 (Wills, Deeds, Etc. 1697-1704, p. 302) in Henrico, George Archer deeded to James Thweatt Jr. , land in trust for his son— in— law William Traylor and his daughter Judith, with reversion to any issue the couple might have. On 24 April 1703, James Thweatt, the elder, received two grants of 223 and 234 acres respectively, on the north side of the Appomattox River in Henrico, both previously granted to George Archer and lapsed for improper seating. Only a year later, on 1 June 1704, Thweatt deeded both tracts to Archer, "for an agreement". The implication is that James Thweatt had planted the land as the law directed and so helped George Archer hold on to the property. Archer, in 1690, was married to Elizabeth, the sister of a William Harris. Some researchers have theorized that he had been married before and that Judith Traylor, listed first among his daughters in his 1731 will, and the subject of the 1702 deed of trust, was the issue of this earlier marriage. George Archer's presumed first wife may have been another daughter of John and Judith Lee.

The marriage license of James* Thweatt and Judith Soane, his last wife, was dated in Henrico Co. on 24 Oct. 1702. She was the daughter of William Soane whose will was recorded in that county in 1714 and his first wife Elizabeth, whose surname is unknown. (For Soane, see Historical Southern Families, Vol. V. by John B. Boddie (1960); and the booklet, Henry Soane.

Progenitor of Thomas Jefferson , (n. d. ), by Ellen Dabney Neff -22-

McLean. ) Martha Soane, sister to Judith, married Simon Busby of

Prince George Co. , and had among other children, twin sons Drury and Miles whose birth is listed in the Bristol Parish Register in 1732. As Judith Soane and James* Thweatt also had sons 2 2 Drury and Miles , these names may have a bearing on the family name of Elizabeth, the first wife of William Soane and the mother- of Judith and Martha.

With the destruction of so many of the early records of Charles City and Prince George, the record of the immigrant James* Thweatt and his immediate descendants is uncertain. Crucial to the understanding of the early generations of the family are the existence of three distinct James Thweatts in the records in 1724. In that year James* and his wife Judith sold land and both James and Mary Thweatt and James and Ann Thweatt had children listed in the Bristol Parish Register. This infers three generations in the direct line living at the same time.

In the extant deeds of Prince George Co. , there are several from 1715 to 1724 in which James 1 and Judith sold land. A careful study of these conveyances shows that they were all part of the 550 acres granted to James* Thweatt along the Blackwater in 1673. Judith predeceased her husband shortly after 1724. In 1727 James sold land to Miles Thweatt and there is no dower waiver fcr Judith. In the acknowledgement of the deed, James* Thweatt referred to Miles 2 as his son, the only positive identification of any of his children. There is no record of immigrant James* after 1727, and he probably died soon

thereafter. He undoubtedly had daughters other than Martha2 , of whom later, but their names have been lost. His descedant Henry Coleman Thweatt (1807-1887) wrote that there was a distant relationship between his=> grandfather Henry Thweatt, and his maternal grandfather Williamson Coleman, both of Dinwiddie. This suggests an early Thweatt—Coleman marriage. Tradition is strong that Frances, the wife of John Cureton, b. 1690 was the daughter of James Thweatt but it is more probable she was a granddaughter who is as yet unplaced.

James* Thweatt, the immigrant, and his wife Mary had issue. As mentioned above, James 2 Jr. may have been by an even earlier marriage. 1. James 2 - b. prior to 1667, of whom later. 2 2. Henry , b. circa 1675-m. Hannah Stanley and died 1737. Subject of an article to follow. 2 3. John , b. circa 1680-m. (1) Elizabeth Soane, d. s. p. and (2) Judith Peterson. Subject of an article to follow.

James Thweatt had issue by his second wife, Judith Soane. 4. Miles2 -b. circa 1703, of whom later. 5. Drury2-b. circa 1705, of whom later. 2 6. William , b. circa 1708, of whom later. 7. Martha2 -b. circa 1710, of whom later. -23-

JAMES zTHWEATT, (Jamesi ) was born prior to 1667. He was involved in a deed of trust in Henrico Co. from George Archer in 1702 and appears as James Thueatt Jun. with 100 acres in Prince George County in the Virginia rent roll in 1704. Because .so few records remain for the period in which he lived, he has been confused with his father. It was he and not the immigrant who became a justice in Prince George in 1712, sheriff in 1718, vestryman of Bristol Parish, and a captain in the militia. The immigrant James would have hardly begun public life at the age of seventy. It was he, and not his father, who on 29 Dec. 1721, deeded 200 acres in Bristol Parish, Prince George Co. to Samuel Jordan, with James Thweatt Jr. as a witness. If the deed pertained to immigrant James, his wife Judith should have waived her dower. The land in question had been sold to Edward Birchett, deed., and Henry and Mary Batte in 1678. In 1721, 300 acres on Butterwood Swamp in Prince George Co. were surveyed for

Capt . James Thweatt. It was actually granted to James Thweatt,

Jr. , his son, in 1723. James 2 died about 1731, not long after his father. It has been suggested that he married a member of the Birchett family who lived next to the Thweatts in Prince 3 4 George. The oldest daughter of his son James was named Agnes , a name found in that family. Mary, the wife of James in 1724 was probably a second marriage. He seems to not have had a wife when he conveyed land in 1721.

Issue of whom there is any record:

1. Jamess— b. circa 1695— of whom later. 2. Edwards, probable— of whom later. 3. Frances 3 -b. 1700—married John Cureton-possible 4. Marys-b. 28 Feb. 1724-Bristol Parish Register [henceforth referred to as B.P.R.] no further record.

2 4 Edward Thweatts, (James ) only appears in the B.P.R. when Mary , the daughter of Edwards and Mary Thweatt, was born in 1745. He is posited as the son of James 2 as he could not have been the issue of any other son of immigrant James. He is not to be 2 confused with his contemporary cousin Edward 3 , son of Henry Thweatt, who by 1745 was married to Katy St. John. According to the B.P.R. , William, son of Edward and Mary "Wheatt" was born in 1742. Also listed are Anne, daughter of Edward and Elizabeth "Whit", born 1730, and John, son of Edward and Mary Whit, born 1734. The surnames Whit and Wheatt do not appear elsewhere in the B.P.R. or in the surviving Prince George and Dinwiddie records for the colonial period and their isolated appearance in the register at this point suggests a possible misspelling of the name Thweatt. It is pertinent that in the parish registers of Little Bolton, England, as published by the British Public Record Office in 1913, the Thweatt surname is also occasional lyt ranscribed incorrectly as "Wheatt" and "Whit". Nothing more is known of this Edwards Thweatt and his supposed children. He may have married first an Elizabeth and then Mary. -24-

He may be the ancestor of un— identified Thweatts who later appear in Virginia and other southern states.

2 James Thweatt 3 (James , James i ) was born about 1695. He settled on the land on Butterwood Swamp he had been granted in 1723. According to the Bristol Parish vestry book., he processioned this area in 1731 and again in 1739. When Dinwiddle Co. was formed from western Prince George Co. in 1754, the lands of James Thweatt fell in the new county. He married Anne, mentioned as daughter Anne Thweatt in the 1731 Isle of Wight Co. will of John Peterson. Her sister Judith married John2 Thweatt, uncle to Jamesa. According to a suit in Amelia, brought by his executor William Thweatt, Jamesa Thweatt had died by 1760. James and Ann (Peterson) Thweatt had issue. The dates are from the B. P. R.

1. Agnes*— b. circa 1720 married Thomas Hardaway 2. Frances*— b. 24 Dec. 1724 married Arthur Harrison 3. Christian*- b. 9 Feb. 1730. No record. 4. Martha*- b. 29 Sept. 1731 5. Elizabeth*-b. 5 Aug. 1734 married James Stanton 6. Williams-possible.

A William Thweatt was executor of James Thweatt in 1760, and he may have been a son of James. He is probably the William Thweatt who appears on the personal property tax lists of Dinwiddie County 1782 to 1790. His widow Priscilla survived him for a few years. They do not appear to have had issue.

Of the daughters of James 3 (James 2 , James' ) and Anne Thweatt, the descendants of Agnes* Hardaway, Frances* Harrison, and Elizabeth* Stanton are unusual in their use of the Thweatt and Peterson names. The name Batte also appears. In the opinion of some researchers, the mother of Anne, and the wife of John Peterson, d. 1731 was a member of the Batte family who is as yet unidentified. Christian4 and Martha*, daughters of James 3 Thweatt are unaccounted for. It is probable that one of these, or an unidentified daughter, was married to William Harper who died in Dinwiddie in 1785. According to the tax lists he had four sons: William Jr. , John Peterson, Benjamin, and James Thweatt Harper. According to the same source, James Thweatt Harper died in 1797, leaving two sons: William H.T. Harper and Dr. Peterson W Harper (1792-1854). The last name moved to Hancock Co. Ga.

1 Agnes-* Thweatt (James 3 , James 3 , James ), married Thomas Hardaway (c. 1715-1795), of Dinwiddie, the son of Thomas Hardaway and Jane Stith. The 1906 genealogy by S.E. Hubert,

T homas Hardaway of Chesterfield Co. and his Descendants , givesher name as Agnes Peterson. However, the Bible record of this couple, in the possesion of descendants in York, S. C. and copied by Laurence B. Gardiner, states that Thomas Hardaway and -2b-

Agnes Thweatt were married 24 Dec. 1737. The birthdates for the following children are from the Bible. The marriages are from the records of Laurence B. Gardiner of Memphis, Tenn. The birth of the oldest child, Susan, also appears in the B. P. R.

1. Susans Hardaway, b. 27 Sept. 1740, married Peter Hanson (1733-1793) as his first wife. 2. Marys Hardaway, b. 11 Mar. 1743 married Ishmael Harwell and had issue. 3. Janes Hardaway, b. 7 May 1747-no further record. 4. Elizabeths Hardaway, b. 7 May 1747 (twin) married Richard Locke and had issue. 5. Agness Hardaway, b. 30 Mar. 1749 married, as his second wife, Peter Manson. 6. Johns Hardaway, b. 6 Sept. 1751, married 1) Marianna Stith and 2) Eliza Maclin. 7. Marthas Hardaway, b. 10 June 1754 married Robert Rives. 8. Rebecca5 Hardaway, b. 21 Oct. 1757 married Thomas Jones. 9. Anns Hardaway, b. 20 April 1760- no further record. 10. Thoraass Hardaway, b. 13 Mar. 1763, married Jane Tillman. 11. Nancys Hardaway, b. 13 June 1768 married Daniel Pegram.

Of the above children, Martha Peterson Hardaway married in 1777 Robert Rives and had eight children. See Reliques of the Rives by James Rives Chi Ids (1929), p. 255. This reference will henceforth be referred to as Reliques .

Frances''- Thweatt, (Jamesa, Jaraesz , James* ) , married Arthur Harrison who according to the B.P.R. was born 15 Jan. 1720/21, the son of Gabriel and Grace Harrison. They settled in Brunswick County, VA. Frances predeceased her husband and he married (2) in 1772 Joan Brown, daughter of Richard and Frances Brown and widow of Gronow Owens of Brunswick. The Brunswick will of Arthur Harrison, dated 12 Aug. 1782, was probated 24 Aug. 1783. He and Frances Thweatt had the following issue:

1. Petersons Harrison. 2. Lewiss Harrison. 3. Stiths Harrison. 4. Ainsworths Harrison m. 1785 Dolly Coleman Stone. 5. Francess Harrison. 6. Elizabeths Harrison.

The marriage bond of Elizabeths, the daughter of Arthur and Frances''- Harrison, and her paternal first cousin Cuthbert or "Cuddy" Harrison was dated 29 Jan. 1778. There is considerable information on this couple and their descendants in Vi r ginia

Soldiers of '76 , by Lewis A. Burgess (1929), p. 387. They had -26-

among other children, daughters Elizabeth Thweatte Harrison and Martha Peterson 5 Harrison.

Elizabeth* Thueatt, (Jamesa, Jamess , JamesO, married circa 1755 James Stanton, born 5 Oct. 1727, the son of James and Christiana Stanton of Surry Co. Va. James and Elizabeth Stanton moved first to Northampton Co. N. C. and then on to Edgecombe

Co. , N. C. , where his estate was probated in 1793. The town of Stantonsburg in the present Wilson Co. N. C. was named for his descendants. The following issue appears in Stanton by Abigail Stanton Rice (1952), corrected and amplified when possible from the records of Northampton and Edgecombe Cos. N. C.

1. Johns Stanton, b. 1756— of whom later. 2. Fredericks Stanton b. 1757— of whom later. 3. Anne 5 Stanton— of whom later. 4. Elizabeths Stanton m. Ellis. 5. Delethias Stanton m. (1) Tyson, (2) James Winston. 6. Christianas Stanton m. (1) William Morris, (2) Carroll. 7. Pollys Stanton m. William Hargrove. 8. Jamess Stanton (1771-1829) m. 1795 Sally May (1773-1829) and left issue.

9. Wiley J. s Stanton (1774-1843 ) m. 1792 Elizabeth Dickinson.

Moved to Sumter Co. , Alabama.

According to the previously mentioned Stanton genealogy, Johns Stanton married Elizabeth Short and Frederick5 Stanton married Sal lie Short. They were sisters, the daughters of William Short, who died intestate in Northampton Co. N. C. in 1785, and his wife Judith. John5 Stanton shared in right of his wife in the 1791 divison of William Short's estate. His widow Judy Short made her will in Northampton Co. N. C. on 22 Oct. 1795 and probated in 1797. In it she mentioned only her son William Short, grand-daughter Juliana Stanton and daughter Sarah Stanton. Juliana 6 was the daughter of John5 and Elizabeth Stanton. Sarah was unmarried at the time of the division of her father's estate in 1791. According to the will of her husband Frederick5 Stanton, probated in Northampton Co. N. C. in 1824, they had a son and four daughters. John5 and Elizabeth (Short) Stanton moved to Georgia where the name combination "Batte Short" appears frequently in their descendants. A careful study of the Short family in Northampton County reveals no connection with the Batte family of southside Virginia. However, as mentioned earlier, the Batte surname does occur in other descendants of James 3 and Anne (Peterson) Thweatt. Anne 5 Stanton, daughter of John* and Elizabeth Stanton, married her maternal cousin Kinchen Peterson. According to his will, probated in Northampton Co. N. C. in 1799, there were no children. She is said to have married (2) Benjamin May. -27-

MILES THWEATTz (James* ) lived all his life on the Blackwater Swamp in Prince George County, near his father's original residence. The processioning records of Bristol Parish show 3 that his brother Williams and his son Miles , Jr. owned adjoining land. Miles^ married Sarah, the daughter of Burwell Green, who died intestate in Surry Co. Va. in 1733, and his wife

Ann Poythress. ( Historical Southern Families , Vol. IV , J. B. Boddie, 1960). Sarah died before her husband. His will, dated 13 Aug. 1766, and recorded in Prince George Co. on 17 Jan. 1767, mentioned daughter Martha 3 Wilkins and devised all the rest of his estate to his son James 3 with revision to his son Alex3 should James die before the age of 21. Brother Williamz Thweatt was appointed sole executor. Miles and Sarah Thweatt had the following issue of whom there is record:

1. Martha 3 married Wilkins. Unt raced. 2. Miles Jr. 3 b. circa 1730. of whom later.

3. Burwell 3 , b. 1732 (B. P. R. ) of whom later.

4. William3 , D . 1734 (B. P. R. ) of whom later.

5. Alex3 , b. 1742 (B.P.R. ). 6. Etheldreds-probable. 7. James3-b. circa 1748-of whom later.

Of the above, Alex3 Thweatt appeared on the tax lists of Dinwiddie County in 1782 with 200 acres and a few slaves. In 1792 a John* Thweatt appeared as a tithable in his household and was probably his son. Alex3 disappeared from the land tax after 1793 and from the personal property lists in 1804. There is no reference in the tax records to his estate and the inference is that he had moved away. He and his family may have gone to

Chesterfield Co. , S. C. where names in later census records suggest a connection. An Alexander Thweatt appeared on the 1850 Chesterfield County, S.C. census. In South Carolina the surname was often spelled "Threatt".

Etheldred 3 Thweatt, mentioned above as a possible son of Miless, first appeared in Northampton Co. N. C. with his wife Mary in 1761, near the present town of Garysburg, a few miles south of the Virginia line. James Stanton and his wife

Elizabeth* Thweatt (James 3 , Jamesz , Jamesi) had settled in the same area and Stanton and Etheldred witnessed each others deeds. Etheldred 3 Thweatt was dead by 1769 when Mary Thweatt and Thomas Powell sold land. There is no estate record in the loose papers of Northampton County, N. C. for Etheldred Thweatt. In 1782 a Miles Thweatt appeared in the Northampton Co. N. C. tax lists in the same area and in 1789 Miles witnessed a deed from James Stanton to his brother Frederick Stanton. There is no further reference to Thweatt in Northampton. This Miles* was probably a son of Etheldred and Mary Thweatt, and may have had brothers Frederick and John. A Frederick Thweatt was a private in Gen. -28-

Jethro Sumner's regiment of the 3rd. N. C. line, composed largely of men from Halifax and Northampton counties. Miles''-, 4 Frederick4 , and John Thweatt appeared on the 1730 South Carolina census for the Che raw District. Chesterfield Co. S. C. where Alex 3 Thweatt (mentioned above) seems to have settled, was later formed from Cheraw District.

Miles Thweatt 3 Jr. (Mi lesz , James * ) was of age in 1751 when he was listed as a processioner in Bristol Parish. The, surname of his wife Mary is not known. He seems to have died relatively young and his widow and two children Burwell 4 and Martha4 moved to Brunswick Co. VA. Martha4 was underaged when she married William Collier in that county. Accompanying her marriage bond, dated 22 Nov. 1773, was a letter from Richard Steward stating that Miles 3 Thweatt, Jr. had appointed him one of his executors and guardian of his two children Burwell 4 and Martha4 Thweatt. Burwell 4 Thweatt died unmarried in Brunswick Co. VA. His will, dated Feb. 1781 and probated in August of the same year, named his mother Mary and Patty, the daughter of Burwell Thweatt of

Dinwiddie Co. Mary, the widow of Miles 3 Thweatt, Jr. , in her will, dated 10 June, 1800, and probated 22 Dec. 1806, named her grandchildren Miles 4 and Nathaniel 4 Collier and Nancy4 , the wife of John Goodwyn.

Issue of William Collier and Martha Thweatt 4 .

1. Miless Collier married Nancy Gee, Brunswick M. B. 1797 - untraced. 2. Annes Collier — of whom later. 3. Nathaniels Collier married Sally Williamson, Brunswick

M. B. 1802. According to the tax lists of Dinwiddie Co. , he died in 1819. The surveyors records in that county show that in 1825, his estate was divided between the widow and sons Roberts and Nathaniel K. e Collier.

3 Annes Collier (Martha4 , Miles Jr. , Milesz, James* ) married first John4 Goodwyn, son of Joseph Goodwyn and Martha 3 Thweatt (Johnz, James* ). Their Brunswick M. B. was dated 25 Oct. 1791 with James Peterson as security. Goodwyn died about 1808 and Annes married (2) as his first wife Charles Binns Rives and had two sons by him. ( Rel iques . p. 500). By her first marriage, she had Burwell T. e Goodwyn and John6 Goodwyn, and two daughters who married respectively a Rives and a King. Burwell T. b Goodwyn married Sarah, the daughter of Thomas Dance of Dinwiddie. This family is said to have moved to Coweta Co. Ga.

Burwell 3 Thweatt, (Milesz, James i ) married Jane, the daughter of John Manson of Dinwiddie. Burwell 3 died at the age of 92 on 1 Nov. 1823 (Family Visitor ). He and his wife Jane . . . y

-20- had issue according to a 1790 Dinwiddle lawsuit involving Manson property inherited by the children. The 1781 will of his nephew Burvie.ll-* Thweatt mentions Patty, daughter of Burwell of Dinwiddie Co. She is not mentioned in the lawsuit and had either died prior to 1790 or was the issue of Burwell by an earlier marriage. The first three children listed below were of age in 1 790

Issue of Burwell 3 and Jane (Hanson) Thweatt:

1. Priscilia* Thweatt. 2. Elizabeth 4 Thweatt. 3. Rebecca* Thweatt. A. Ann* Thweatt.

There is no certain record of the daughters listed above except Susanna*. Mary* is said to have married John T. Sydnor of Dinwiddie, d. 1847, and. had seven children. Martha T. & Sydnor, b. 1803, the oldest married Williams Thweatt (Charles*, George^, Henrys, James* ). One of the sons of John T. Sydnor, Joseph'-' Sydnor, married in 183? Mary V. Merfjdith and had a daughter Marthas Sydnor, b. 1843 who married William Wilkins^ Thweatt, b. 1838. (Philip B.s, William*, William^, Miles^,

K.'ar r-i age bond of the last couple was dated 21 Mar. 1827 in Northampton Co. N. C. Sturdivant was the sod of Joel oturdivant whose will was recorded in Dinwiddie in 1837. (See this magazine, Vol. V-#3,p. 134). The account book of the Dinwiddie physician Dr. Robert Walker, now in the Virginia Historical Society, records the death of 4 Burueil & , son of Braddock Sooduyn in 1815 and that of nis wife 6 Elizabeth4 and son Thomas , both in 1820. According to the surveyor's records for Dinwiddie, a tract belonging to the estate of Braddock Goodwyn was divided by court order in 1820 between Thomas Roney in right of his wife and Harriet^ and Eliza Anns Goodwyn.

John Manson-* Thweatt (Burwell?*, Miles2, James i ) was born in 1783 and died 17 Jan. 1856 (Va. Vital Records). His wife, whose name is unknown, may have been Martha. His will, dated 20 Oct. 1854 and recorded Dinwiddie 18 Feb. 1858 mentioned son Robert B.s, Martha R. Williams, grandson James W. s Clayton and granddaughter Elizabeth W. B Nash.

The family Bible of James W. = Thwecitt, above, was found in a country church in Chesterfield County, Va. some years ago.

( Sil as, p. 88). He was born in 1806 and died in 1840. His marriage to Elizabeth N. Rives at Charles Williamson's in Dinwiddie in 1830 is listed in the Bath Parish register. She was born in 1306 and died in 1832. They had only one child Elizabeth W. Thweatt, born in 1831. Elizabeth N. Rives does not appear in Re liques . However Elizabeth W. e Thweatt, her daughter received a legacy in the 1843 Prince George will of Peyton Rives but no relationship is given. The Petersburg Hustings Court M. B. of George C. Nash and Elizabeth W. s Thweatt was dated 1850. Her guardian S.T. Rives gave consent. The death of Martha A. Thweatt in 1335 also appears in the Bible referred to above. She is not identified but may have been the wife of John M. * Thweatt and mother of James W. & Thweatt.

Chesterfield in 1 P32 . They had one child, Judith F.& Thweatt, mentioned as grand-daughter in the wi 1 i of John's widow Jane Foise in 1733. There is no further record of her and she probably died young. William4 Thweatt married 2nd Lucretia, whose surname is unknown. By 1 73S they appear- on the tax list© of Prince George County where they owned 187 acres on Holly Bush Run in the eastern part of the county which probably caine to Lucretia in her own right. There is a suggestion in the records that she was a member of the Gary family of eastern Prince George County, Va. and Halifax County N.C. Their son William^ Thweatt was married in Halifax County, N.C. in 1843 and their grandson George Cuthbert Gar ye Thweatt, son of Philips, married Martha Wren there in 1858. William4 Thweatt died intestate in Prince George County in 1814, about the same time his father- died in Chesterfield County. The wili of Lucretia Thweatt was dated. 12 Mar. 1845 and probated in Prince George County later that year. R. G. Dunn, who had married Sarah Gary in 1322, was the only executor.

James 3 Thweatt (Miles 2 , James' ) lived in Dinwiddle County where he married Lucy Osborne, the oldest daughter of Peter 3 and Lucy (Osborne) Peterson. Peter was the son of John Peterson and Martha2 Thweatt (James* ). The will of Edward Osborne, uncle to the wife of James 3 Thweatt was dated 7 Mar. 1783 in Chesterfield Co. and probated the same year. He devised to James Thweatt a sorrel stud horse named Mercury and named him as one of the two executors of the will. James 3 Thweatt according to the tax record of Dinwiddie County, died about 1786. His widow had died prior to 1805 when her sister Elizabeth, then the wife of Peterson Goodwyn and her two daughters by James Thweatt, Sarah

G. * Thweatt and Lucy* 0. , wife of Herbert Gregory, sold land in Brunswick County. The title was not recited in the deed but the land in question had come to Peter Peterson from his father John (d. 1773) of Prince George. Of the two daughters of James 3 Thweatt, Lucy* (1778-1824) married 1803 Herbert Gregory of Mecklenburg and Sarah*, post 1805 married Thomas^ Thweatt of

"Gatewood" in Dinwiddie, (John*, James 3 , John2 , James* ). (The family Bible records of Lucy and Herbert Gregory were published in the Virgina Magazine of History and Biography. Vol. 26, p. 85).

Martha2 Thweatt (James 1 ) was the second wife of John Peterson (d. 1773) of Prince George County by whom she had three sons and three daughters. (See the 1824 family memoir by her grandson John H. Peterson, in the William and Mary Quarterly , 2nd series. Vol. 2 with notes by Clayton Torrence, and

Historical Southern Families , Vol. 1, by John B. Boddie (1957). John Peterson, husband of Martha, was a brother to

Judith Peterson, wife to John2 Thweatt (James* ) and to Ann, the wife of James 3 Thweatt III.

William Thueattz , (Jamesi ) of Prince George County was still alive in 1766 when he was named executor in the will of his brother Miles. It has been argued that if he did marry, there were no children. Otherwise the births of at least some of them would have appeared in the Bristol Parish Register.

Drury Thweatt^ , (Jamesi) married Elizabeth, surname unknown. He lived in Prince George and was still alive in 1758 when he sold 200 acres in Brunswick he had purchased from John Peterson in 1754. The births of several of his children appear in the B. P. R. In addition there was a son Drury and a son whose first name is not known. Issue of Drury Thweatt:

1. David 3 , b. 1741. 2. Elizabeth 3 - b. 1743 - no record. 3. Edith 3 - b. 1745 - no record. 4. Frankee 3 — b. 1750 no record. 5. Drury3 — of whom later.

6. Thweatt 3 , of whom later. -33-

David.3 Thueatt (Drurya, James i ) , settled in Greensville Co. Va. His marriage bond to Rebecca Gee, widow, was dated 17 Deo.

1782 in Sussex Co. , VA. As Rebecca, the daughter of William Lucas, deed., she had previously married Chappell Gee, (Sussex M.B. ) 18 Mar. 1773. The Greensville Co. will of David Thweatt, dated 8 July, 1788, and probated 20 May, 1789 left all his property to his wife Rebecca. There were no children and no mention of Thweatt relatives in the will.

Drury Thweatt 3 (Druryc , James" ), is said to have served in the 6th Va. Line during the Revolution. His marriage to Sela, the daughter of Isham Smith was on 14 Mar. 1781 in Sussex Co.

VA. , and they are mentioned in her father's 1785 Sussex Co. will. Drury was listed on the Dinwiddie tax lists from 1782 to 1300. He then moved to Hancock Co. ,Ga. where several members of the Thweatt connection had preceeded him. In 1815 he sold his 60 acre farm in Hancock Co. and moved on to Jasper Co. Ga. Nothing more is known of him and no record of issue except a son Williamson^-.

William''- Thweatt, owner of a tavern on Bank Street in Petersburg, well known in its day, was a grandson of Druryz Thweatt by a son whose name is not known. William^- Thweatt died without issue in 1822, leaving a wife Rebecca, whose identity is not known. Edmunds Turner Lucas, his administrator filed an inventory of the estate in Petersburg Hustings Court on 22 Mar. 1822. As the law then stood, one half of the estate went to the widow and the other half to the blood relatives of the deceased. Thweatt having been an only child, one moiety went to his maternal and paternal relations in five equal parts. A share was assigned respectively to: Drurys Thweatt, as uncle of the deceased; to Hugh Reese of Charlotte County; to the three children of William and Mary Watson, formerly of Greensville County, and to Edmunds T. Lucas, the administrator of the estate. A fifth share is unaccounted for. Lucas bought out the above mentioned heirs, the deeds being recorded in his home county of Brunswick. Hugh Reese was probably another grandson of Drury Thweatt. Edmunds T. Lucas was the son of Charles Lucas, whose Brunswick County will was probated in 1814, and his wife formerly Martha Turner. Charles, in turn, was the son of William Lucas of Brunswick and his wife Elizabeth Wyche. The complete issue of William Lucas is uncertain as he died intestate in 1765. Guardian accounts survive for two daughters Mary and Rebecca. Mary seemingly married William Watson of Greensville prior to 1789 and had sons: William Lucas and Henry

W. Watson and a daughter Mary Watson who married John H. Raines. As mentioned earlier, the marriage of Rebecca, the daughter of William Lucas to Chappell Gee was in 1773. In 1782, she married secondly Davids Thweatt, having no issue by either husband. She died prior to 1822. -34-

To explain the Lucas heirs of William4- Thueatt 's estate there was an unnamed daughter of William Lucas d. 1765 who married an unnamed son of Druryz Thweatt, having an only child the William Thueatt in question. In summary, Drury Thueatta Jr. and probably Hugh Resse were the only representatives of the? line of Druryz Thweatt in 1822.

TO BE CONTINUED.

JEREMIAH CLEMENTS

Virginia Hutcheson Davi; P.O. Box 876 Urbanna, Virginia 23175

Jeremiah Clements was born in England, the son of Jeffery and Elizabeth Clements. He was baptized at St. James

Clerkenwell on November 8, 1607i . His father, Jeffery, was a member of the Virginia Company of London and after his death his widow elected to come with her children to the new colony of Virginia. Jeremiah later reported that she came on "The George" in 1617 with Jeremiah, Nicholas, Ezechiell and Elizabeths. Elizabeth Clements had married Ralph Hamor before 1623, for at that time she was listed in the muster of Ralph Hamor as Mrs. Elizabeth Hamor. Jeremiah was listed as a child of firs. Elizabeth Hamor3. He was again listed in the muster of Ralph Hamor in 1625 at Jamestowne+.

Jeremiah came to the new colony of Virginia as a young boy and grew to manhood in the midst of the growth of Jamestowne. His stepfather was a member of the Council in 1625 and in 1626 at Jamestowne and Jeremiah was a part of the hustle and bustle of the village. He survived the hardships of a limited food supply, the threat of disease and illness and the Indian massacre. He grew up to become one of the lawmakers of the colony.

Apparently Jeremiah made trips back to England as he later patented land in the right of his own voyage and named others as headrights. He must have continued to live in Virginia after the death of his stepfather, Capt. Ralph Hamor, and the subsequent remarriage of his mother. When she returned to England after her marriage he evidently remained in the colony. e

-35-

Jeremiah's association with his stepfather had no doubt imbued him with a strong sense of obligation to the young colony. In 1641 Jeremiah represented James City in the House of Burgesses. s He was living at that time on the South side of the James River (later Surry County).

Jeremiah took up a patent of 350 acres of land in August, 1633, on the east, side of Upper Chippokes Creek and west upon the same, b This may have been very shortly after the death of his mother, as he claimed his right to the land as son and heir of Elizabeth Clements, who was named as an headright along with his brothers and sister and two servants who had come with them.

The land on Upper Chippokes Creek later became known as Claremont Manor and Jeremiah continued to patent land along Chippokes Creek and in that same area. In June, 1635 he patented an additional 500 acres, east upon land previously in his possession and north upon the James River.-? He claimed the land for the personal adventure of his Wife Edey and for transporting 9 persons, among them John Clements.

The mention of Jeremiah's wife Edey in his land patent is the only reference to his wife's name. Her maiden name is not known. The same land patent' gives the name of John Clements as a headright. He is not identified as the son of Jeremiah and later evidence indicates that Jeremiah did not have a son John who survived him.

In March, 1638 Jeremiah again patented 500 acres at Upper Chippokes Creek and north upon the James River. a This is believed to be a repatent of the earlier 500 acre patent since the description of the location is essentially the same. This meant that Jeremiah owned 850 acres of land which included, not only what became Claremont Manor, but most of the present day town of Claremont. io

In January, 1643 Jeremiah patented 200 acres in James City County on the southward side of the James River at Upper Chippokes Creek, and east upon his former dividend. n With this patent Jeremiah named fimey Clements and Ezekiel Clements asheadrights. Even though the land adjoined land that Jeremiah owned, it is believed that this was additional land that he patented, and not a repatent of land previously claimed by Jeremiah.

Jeremiah later sold the 500 acres he had patented to William Thomas. This transaction is recorded in the deed book of Surry County at a later time when Capt . Benjamin Sidway designated land on Upper Chippokes Creek that he sold as being a part of this land. 12 1

-36-

The wife of Henry Perry appears later in the records of Surry County as the "heretrix of Jeremiah Clements" when her husband Capt . Henry Perry deeded 250 acres of land in 1657 to Edward Oliver. This land was a part of her father's Upper Chippok.es Creek land patent. It was described as being on Upper Chippokes Creek and being the eastern most 250 acres of the 350 acre patent formerly belonging to Jeremiah Clements, is

Capt. Perry assigned the remaining 100 acres to William Gaping, and on the same date, he assigned the 200 acre patent that Jeremiah had made in 1643 to William Gaping. i^ These land transactions made by Jeremiah's son— in— law along with the land that Jeremiah had already sold accounted for all of the land known to have been owned by Jeremiah.

A later court entry concerning an escheated patent, granted to Thomas Clarke in 1670, identified the daughter of Jeremiah as Elizabeth. The entry referred to the 200 acre deed to William Gapin from Henry Perry and Elizabeth, his wife. 15 The Anna Perry who requested that the land of her husband be surveyed after his death in 1664 was evidently a later wife, Elizabeth having already died before that date. is

Elizabeth Clements Perry, then was the daughter of Jeremiah Clements, and was apparently his only living heir. The term "heretrix" is surely meant to imply that she was the sole heir to his land. While he may have left a parcel of land to his daughter he would certainly have left the preponderance of his land to a son if he had one.

The fact that John Clements was of the appropriate time frame to have been a son of Jeremiah Clements has led to the conclusion that he was. As previously stated, the land owned by Jeremiah appears to have been accounted for in just four land transactions. John Clements did not later own land that has been described as belonging to Jeremiah. That in itself cannot be construed as conclusive evidence, but the fact that Elizabeth Clements was heir to the land of Jeremiah certainly reinforces the conclusion that she was his only heir. There is no evidence that John contested the sale of the lands, which it seems probable that he would have done, had he a legal claim to the land of Jeremiah.

In 1663, John Clements owned 50 acres of land on the east side of Gray's Creek and a branch of Ready Swamp. 17 John Clements patented 42 acres of land on the east side of the main branch of Crouch's Creek adjacant to his own land in 1685. b A careful inspection of the records does not show any close relationship between this John Clements and Jeremiah Clements at any time. -37-

Jeremiah had died by 1657. This is indicated by the land transactions involving his son-in-law, Henry Perry. 1 a The new county's records began at its inception in 1652. Since no record of the administration of Jeremiah's estate has been found, it is possible that he died prior to that time, and the entries concerning the estate may have been made in the James City County records which are no longer extant.

PERSON FAMILY

by L. H. Hart

Much has appeared in print concerining this large and prominent family, but there are a number of errors. This article will attempt to correct some of these mistakes. It is not intended to be the definitive work on the Person family, but to supply additional information on a family with numerous connections in the southern Tidewater. John Person died testate in Surry County, Virginia in 1738 (Will and Deed Book 1738—54, p. 51). His widow Sarah married secondly George Wyche (Surry Co. Order Book 1744-49, p. 361). The two children to be considered in this article are his sons Johnz and Thomas^ Johnz Person of Isle of Wight County (later Southampton County) was the eldest son and heir at law of John Person of Surry (Brunswick Co. Deed Book 3, p. 447). He died testate in Southampton County in 1752 (Will Book 1, p. 66). He lists the following sons: Johns, Henrys, Thomas 3 , Williams. Johns Person married Dorcas Turner, daughter of Simon Turner, and died in 1767. Turner lists the following heirs

[grandchildren] : Turner and Lucy Person (Southampton Co. Will Book 1, p. 410). Johns Person listed a grandson John Person, son of John and Dorcas. John 3 Person in his will (Southampton Co. Will Book 2, p. 193) lists his wife Dorcas, brother William Person, cousin Benjamin Person of Bute Co. NC, and sons Presley*, Philip-*, Colin-*, and Turner-*. Dorcas Person married secondly Richard Clifton (Southampton Co. Deed Book 7, p. 453), who qualified as guardian to the orphans Lucy and Turner Person in 1772. From this it appears that John had predeceased his father. Presley* Person appears to have died without issue (Southampton Co. Order Book 1803-05, p. 511). Philip* Person was the heir to the land of Presley Person, indicating that he was the eldest son or the eldest next to Presley. Philip* Person married Temperance Thorpe in Southampton Co. on 26 Jan. 1772. She was the daughter of Timothy Thorpe. Person died testate in 1782 (Southampton Co. Will Book 3, p. 395) leaving a widow Temperance, brother Turner, and children Timothys and Patseys. His widow married secondly on 8 Jan. 1784 in Southampton Co. Aninias Randall, and they had a daughter Temperance. Randall was dead by 1790 when Robert Mabry qualified as guardian to the orphan Temperance Randall. According to a 1797 Southampton Co. Chancery suit, Marthas Person married John Brown and Timothys Person died under 21, without issue, in 1784. From an 1805 Southampton Co. Chancery suit, it appears that Martha^ Person married secondly David Newsum and Temperance Randall married John Peters. Colin* Person married Elizabeth — and died testate in Southampton Co. in 1782 (Will Book 3, p. 396). He mentions his brother Philip, his wife Elizabeth, and his daughter Nancys.

51 His widow married secondly Banks Heacham on 20 Dec. 1785 in Greensville Co. (Southampton Co. Judgments 1791, part 5). Turner* Person may have married Polly Harrison on 17 Jan. 1801 in Southampton Co. He died testate in Southampton Co. (Will Book. 5, p. 447) mentioning his daughter Rebecca^ and his neice Darcas Westbrook. His daughter married Henrys Person of Greensville Co. in Southampton Co. on 30 Dec. 1818 with the consent of her guardian David Westbrook.

Henrys Person married Mary Harris ( SSV Vol. 6, No. 4). He was dead by 1754 when an inventory of his estate was ordered. The inventory was recorded in 1759 (Southampton Co. Will Book 1, p. 291). The widow married secondly William Blunt on 24 Feb. 1756. The only child of Henry was John-* whose guardian was his step-father William Blunt (the bond was dated 1759).

John* Person (Henry3 ) died without issue in 1773 (Southampton Co. Will Book 3, p. 69). His property was willed to his step-father William Blunt. Thomass Person died in 1754 in Southampton Co. (Will Book 1, p. 146). He died without surviving issue. The four slaves willed to Thomas by Johnz appear in this inventory, confirming that this Thomas is the son of John^ . There was a suit in the General Court to partition and divide the land left to Thomas by his father. The recipients of the land were John, William, and John Person the younger, infant, by William Blunt (Southampton Co. Deed Book 3, p. 320). William3 Person was married to Mary Thorpe, daughter of Timothy, in Southampton Co. on 10 Nov. 1757. He died testate there in 1768 (Southampton Co. Will Book 2, p. 267). His will mentions his wife Mary and sons: William* John*, Anthony*. His widow married secondly William Andrews. There are guardians' bonds for Anthony and John Person with William Andrews as guardian dated 11 Feb. 1779, and for Betty and William Person with Timothy Thorpe as guardian on the same date. There is a chancery suit in 1783 between the minor orphans of William Person and William Andrews and wife Mary, the widow of William Person.

William* Person (William3 ) was the eldest child, and he appears to have died without issue as there is no reference to him or his heirs in the wills of his brothers. There is an administrator's bond for Anthony Person on the estate of a William Person dated 14 Dec. 1786.

John* Person (William3 ) died without issue in Southampton Co. in 1799 (Will Book 5, p. 137). His will mentions his nephew John Anthony Person, his neices Mariannne Person and Elizabeth Person, and mentions Rebecca, Elizabeth, Polly Person as surviving children of Henry and Polly Person. John Anthony Person is also listed with the three above as a residuary legatee. Anthony* Person may have married in Greensville Co. on 5 April 1790 Rebecca Person. He did marry Elizabeth Browne in Southampton Co. on 31 Oct. 1797. He died testate in Southampton Co. (Will Book 5, p. 128) in 1799. His will mentions his wife

52 ,

Elizabeth, his unborn child, his brother John, and the children of Henry Person's present wife. His widow married secondly George Veale and died in 1836 (Southampton Deed Book. 15, p. 47). His daughter Mary Anns Person married William Mint on and died without issue in 1827 (Nansemond Co. land taxes 1825-1828). Nothing further is known about Elizabeth* Person. This concludes the discussion of the male issue of Johnz Person. He listed a number of daughters in his will and nothing positive is known about them. It has been written that Priscillas Person (Johnz) married Benjamin Blunt. This is not the case. It seems likely that Priscilla Person married Henry Westbrooke. The Person name appears as a first and middle name in the descendants of this couple. The issue of this couple includes: Rebecca, wife of John Tillar; Sally, wife of Ambrose Andrews; Henry Westbrooke (died 1798); William Person Westbrooke; Lucy, wife of Kirby Bittle; Thomas Westbrooke; Person Westbrooke; Priscilla Westbrooke; Nancy, wife of Samuel Brister (Southampton Co. Executions, 1800).

Thomas*? Person, the son of John of Surry, inherited land at Fountains Creek. This seems to be in the area that became Brunswick Co. He received patents in 1730 and 1734 and purchased land in 1745. The patent of 1734 was sold by him in 1748 (Brunswick Co. Deed Book 3, p. 428). His wife's name has not been determined. He died in Brunswick Co. intestate in 1770. Jesse Williamson obtained administration on his estate, the bond being dated 23 Apr. 1770. His children were: Marys, Elizabeths, Thomass, and probably Johns. Marys Person, born by 1737, married Jesse Williamson in Brunswick Co. on 21 Oct. 1758. He died testate in 1801, having married secondly Elizabeth Marable on 22 Dec. 1792 in Sussex Co. All of his children were by Mary Person. Their issue were: Person-*; Henry*; Rebecca-*, wife of Frederick Lanier; Temperance*, wife of Frederick Parker; James*-; Joseph-*; Matthew*; Elizabeth*, wife of Nathaniel Clanton. Elizabeths Person married Simon Turner the Younger prior to 1763 (Brunswick Co. Deed Book 7, p. 381). He died by 1818 (Greensville Co. land tax lists). Issue according to a suit in Greensville Co. (Order Book 6, p. 153): Patience, wife of Richard

Gordon; Birchett L. , widow of William Sykes; Green Turner; Betsy

D. , wife of John D. Powell; Martha, wife of Peyton Mason; Person Turner; Polly, wife of James Williamson; Simon Turner; Priscilla, wife of William Dancy. Several of these daughters were married more than once, but this article is not intended to pursue the various descendants in the female line. Thomas^ Person lived in the part of Brunswick Co. that fell into the new county of Greensville. As Thomas Person, Jr. he married Mary Delony in Mecklenburg Co. on 19 Sept. 1768. His will was recorded in 1783 (Greensville Co. Will Book 1, p. 26). His inventory records a number of slaves with the same names as those of his father. He only names his four sons in his will, but a suit in Greensville Co. (Order Book 2, p.170) fills in the

53 names of all his children. Thomas*, Henry-*, Benjamin-*, and William Delony* Person are the sons named in the will. The suit involves a division of the share of William Delony* Person, who had died without issue by 1792. The two daughters named in the suit are Frances Jefferson* Person and Nancy* Person. Frances Jefferson* Person married first William Bynum on 15 Jan. 1795 in Greensville Co. and secondly, by 1802, Littleton Mason. Anne* Person married James Hayley in Greensville Co. on 22 Mar. 1798. She was dead by 1802, leaving one son Benjamins Hayley. — Thomas* Person (Thomass, Thomas^ , John) married Polly and died testate in 1806 without issue (Greensville Co. Will Book 2, p.l). His heirs were his nephews Henry and William, the youngest sons of his brother Henry Person.

Henry* Person (Thomass, Thomasz , John) married Polly (about whom more will follow) and died testate in 1807 (Greensville Co. Will Book. 2, p. 40). His will names sons: Henry, William, John and brother Benjamin. There are several suits in Greensville Co. to divide the property of Henry Person and they list all his children (Order Book 4, p. 316; Order Book 5, pp.74, 243; Order Book 6, pp.89, 306; Order Book 8, p.l). Issue: Rebeccas Person married Simmons Thorp in Greensville Co. on 24 Jan.

1812. ; Elizabeths Person married Francis E. Williamson on 21 Nov. 1810 in Greensville Co.; Mary Persons married Henry B.

Turner on 10 May 1813 in Greensville Co. ; John Anthonys Person married 1) Mary A.M. Peebles on 13 Apr. 1818 in Greensville Co. 2) Sarah M. Newsum on 12 Oct. 1831 in Southampton Co. 3) Mary H. Harris on 19 Feb. 1834 in Southampton

Co. 4) Mary E. Matthews on 14 Mar. 1838 in Greensville Co. ; Henrys Person married Rebeccas Person on 30 Dec. 1818 in Southampton Co.; Williams Person about whom nothing further is known; Dorothy A. s Person married Joseph M. S. Rogers on

29 Jan. 1819 in Greensville Co. ; Marthas Person married Francis E. Williamson as his second wife. The wife of Henry Person seems to be a close relation to John* and Anthony* Person, the sons of Williams. They both make bequests to the children of Henry and Polly Person, John calling them his neices and nephews. This implies a sibling relationship between the said John and Anthony and Polly Person. There are guardian's accounts in Northampton Co. NC (Guardian Accounts 1781-1802, pp.9, 157) for Mary Person orphan of Mary Andrews, returned by Benjamin Clifton, dated 1783 to 1793. There is also a reference in the 1797 will of Benjamin Clifton of Northampton Co. NC (Will Book 2, p. 150) to his supposed daughter Polley Person. The implication in all of this is that Mrs. Henry Person bore the name Polly Person, but was either a posthumous child or, more probably, an out of wedlock child of Mrs. Mary (Thorpe) Person, born before her second marriage to William Andrews. This would make her children the neices and nephews of John and Anthony Person on the maternal side and would explain the bequests and relationships mentioned in the

54 two previously mentioned wills. Benjamin-* Person (Thomasa, Thomas^ , John) married Rebecca Parke on 13 May 1805 in Greensville Co. He died testate in 1826 in Northampton Co., NC (Will Book 4, p. 2). The widow died testate there in 1845 (Will Book 5, p. 36). Issue: William H.b, Mary Lucys, Francis B.b, Thomas J.P.b, Benjamin Franklin, b Harriet Martha Elizabeth NancyB Person.

Johns Person (Thomasz , John) is probably a son of Thomas who died in 1770. He, as a resident of Brunswick Co. , makes a deed in 1774 (Brunswick Co. Deed Book 11, p. 348) in which he sells land, partly a grant to John Person, dec. in 1731 and partly a grant to Thomas Person in 1730. There is no assignment of dower. Nothing further is known about him. He may be the same John Person who married Mary Howell in Southampton Co. on lO Mar. 1768. This concludes the brief account of several branches of the Person family.

Petition of Emily J. Atkinson and her husband William Atkinson. Boiling Clark died testate in Dinwiddie County, VA in 1809. He willed certain slaves to his grand-daughter Mary Burnett. Said Mary Burnett died 29 March 1856. She left the following slaves, being the bequest and their increase: Jim, Anthony, Ursey, Mary, Henny, Puss, Natt, Indiana, Davy, Ben, Ike, George, Cora, Elizabeth. Administration was granted in this county on 3 March 1857 to Boling G. Burnett. The slaves were sold on 9 May 1857 for $9815, and the sale reported to June Term 1857. Petitioners claim slaves were sold for less than their value and they had no notice of the sale.

Mary Burnett had three children: Boling C. Burnett, who is still living; Richard Burnett, who is deceased, leaving two children: Mrs. Matilda, wife of Edward Manahan (residents of Aberdeen,

Monroe Co. , MS) and Mrs. Jane, wife of Nap. Norman (residents of

Chickasaw Co. , MS); and Joseph Burnett, who is deceased, leaving five children: W. W. Burnett and John J. Burnett (a minor) (both residents of Williamson Co. TN), James T. Burnett (resident of

Dallas Co. AL) , Elizabeth A., wife of Richd. F. Dodson, and

Emily J. , wife of William Atkinson (both residents of Monroe Co. MS).

Four years have elapsed since the sale and the estate has no debts. The money could have been put out at 1034.

62 Your petitioners pray that they be paid their 1/15 share of the estate with lOX interest per annum since the 9 May 1857, the interest to be compounded annually. B. G. Burnett, the son of Boling C. Burnett, is considered to be a suitable person to supervise the division of the estate.

SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY CHANCERY SUITS, 1845.

BY L.H. HART

The foil owing are abstracts from some of the loose Chancery Papers of Southampton Co. The genealogical material has been abstracted and condensed. This allows for more material to be included, reduces repetition, and gives a summary of the information in a suit. It is printed with the kind permission of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Southampton County.

JAMES BELL ESTATE PAPERS

By David B. Gammon

The following depositions were abstracted from the file of James

Bell in the loose estate papers of Edgecombe Co. , NC. This file contains three depositions relative to a suit brought by Joseph John Sumner against George Bell, executor of James Bell, deceased. Bell evidently possessed a certain negro in dispute.

Deposition #1. July 25, 1809. Thomas Walk of Surry Co. , Virginia. Said Walk married Ann Holt, widow and relict of John Holt, deceased, in 1787 or 1788. She had owned a negro Charles whom Walk believed was part of her dower from her former deceased husband Michael Hill. Deposition #2. July 25, 1809. James Simpson of Surry Co., Virginia. Does not reveal anything additional to above.

Deposition #3. July 25, 1809. Isaac Hill of Sussex Co. , Virginia. Basically agrees with the other depositions, but adds that Ann Holt was the widow of Michael Hill (father of said Isaac Hill) and then she married John Avery. At the death of said Avery she married John Holt. The negro in question was believed to have been in the possession of Rowland Holt, son of the said John Holt.

N. B. Sussex Co. marriage bonds exist for the following: 16 Sept. 1762 Michael Hill and Nancy Tyus. 31 May 1766 John Avery and Ann Hill, widow.

Surry Co. marriage bonds exist for the following: 27 Feb. 1787 Thomas Walke and Ann Holt.

THE THWEATT FAMILY

by C.T. Smith, Jr., M. D. continued from Vol. 7, p. 34

Henrye Thweatt, (James* ), married Hannah, the daughter of Edward Stanley of Henrico County by his first wife Hannah Wilson, daughter of John Wilson and widow of Charles Clay. (Adventures of Purse and Person, 3rd ed. 1987, p. 193).

According to a deposition in Henrico Co. , Stanley was born in 1650. He was mentioned as headright in a 1687 grant to

70 )

Francis Epes, and, by 1703, he had acquired lands on Swift Creek. he married secondly Martha, the widow of Ralph Blankenship of Henrico, but he had no children by her. Stanley's will, dated 21 May 1726 and recorded in Henrico Co. in July of the same year, mentioned wife Martha, Ralph, John and James Blankenship, daughter Hannah Thweatt and grand—daughters Frances, Mary, and Hannah Thweatt.

According to the Bristol Parish vestry—book, Henryz Thweatt was ordered to procession the land between Stoney Creek and Hatchers Run, indicating that he had removed from the original Thweatt settlement to the part of Prince George Co. that became Dinwiddie Co. in 1754. He died between 1735 when he purchased 185 acres in Amelia Co. from Edward Mitchell and 1737, when his son Edward and widow Hannah received a grant in that county. According to an Amelia Co. deed, Hannah was still living in 1745. Annie Thweatt Powell, the great-grand-daughter of Henry and Hannah, wrote in 18 77 about the original patent taken west by her family, and she recalled the apple orchard where her ancestors had been buried (Silas, p. 147). Issue of Henry and Hannah Thweatt:

1. Francess - she inherited Edward Stanley's lands

2. Marys

3. Hannahs

4. Edwards - of whom later

5. Georges -b. 1720- of whom later

6. Johns b. 1722- of whom later

7. Obediences b. 1726

8. Elizabeths b. 1727

(It is not known who any of Henry's daughters married. The dates are from the B. P. R.

Edwards Thweatt (Henry2 , James* ) settled in the part of Amelia County which later became Lunenburg. He married Katy [Catherine], the only child of Richard St. John whose will was

recorded in Essex Co. , Va. in 1733. Her mother Ann later married William Covington. In Lunenburg Co. on 13 May 1773, Edward Thweatt gave a power of attorney to his son Daniel to obtain the property due him from the estate of Richard St. John. There were difficulties and later in 1773 the Virginia Gazette advertised a law suit between Edward and Katy Thweatt and William and Anne Covington. In the same paper, on 6 May 1775, Thweatt advertised 1200 acres of land for sale in Essex that had

71 been awarded him by the General Court. Further litigation took

place in Edgefield Co. , S. C. where the Covingtons had apparently moved. On 12 Sept. 1771, Edwards deeded a slave to his daughter Lively* Gooch. Lively may have been a clerical error or a nickname as she does not appear in the will of Daniel-*Thweatt who died unmarried in Lunenburg Co. in 1773. His will, recorded 9 Mar. 1775, mentions his father Edwards and sisters Mary*, Elizabeth-*, Martha-*, Anne-*, and Hannah-*. The will of Edward Thweatt dated 8 April 1777 and probated on 11 Mar. 1784,

mentioned his wife Katy, all his children [not by name] , and excluded Rowland Gooch and wife and Joel Daws and wife because of prior gifts. The other daughters are untraced. Hannah-* married 1) Joel Daws and 2) John Cureton, of whom later. South Carolina records suggest that one of the daughters may have married an Edward Thweatt, presumably a nephew of Edward 3 Cd. 1784]. Rowland Gooch may be the same person whose will, dated 19 Feb. 1783, was recorded in Louisa Co. on 8 Dec. 1795, mentioning daughter Elizabeth and sons John, Rowland and

Seneca (sic). On 12 July 1787 in Lunenburg Co. , Katy Thweatt, as executrix of Edwards Thweatt, gave a power of attorney to

Michael McK.ee of Edgefield Co. , S. C. to handle her property in that state. Her son-in— law John Cureton witnessed the document. Katy apparently joined the Curetons in their move to South Carolina a few years later. The deeds of Amelia and Lunenburg counties show that Edward Thweatt had been an unsuccessful land speculator. According to clams of British merchants for Lunenburg (Va. Gen. 18 - p. 282), Dr. Edward Thweatt died very poor about the time of the Peace [Treaty of Ghent] and his widow moved out of the state. This is the only reference to Edward Thweatt as a physician.

Hannah* Thweatt (Edwards, Henrys, James*) married first Joel Daws, whose 1778 Lunenburg Co. will mentioned a son John Williams Daws, who died young. By 1788 Hannah had married as his second wife, John Cureton-*, the son of John Cureton and Frances 3 Thweatt (James^, James 1 ). According to a Lunenburg Co. deed dated 13 June 1788, John Cureton and wife Hannah, formerly Hannah Daws, conveyed their interest in a tract inherited by the late Joel Daws from his father James. They moved to South Carolina the following year. The first wife of John Cureton is said to have been Winifred Heath, probably the same mentioned as a daughter of James and grand—daughter of Elizabeth Heath Usee her will in Surry Co. in 1749]. The will of John Cureton, dated 1 Aug. 1802, was proved on 9 June 1803 in Laurens District, S. C. The will mentioned wife Hannah* and the following children: John; Nathaniel; David; daughter Jenny Pains; George Washington;

ThomasB ; daughter Heaths, son Daniels, and daughter Elizabeth Burnets Cureton. The first five were the issue of his first marriage. John Cureton (1731-1803) was buried in the Beaverdam Baptist Churchyard near Laurens, S. C. The will of his uidou Hannahs Cureton, dated 15 Nov. 1816 and probated in Newberry Co. S.C. on 16 Oct. 1821, named son Thomas Taylors, son Daniel T.s,

72 ..

daughter Susannas H. Hunter and daughter Elizabeth B. Sheppards. In the will, she mentioned her old negro Fanny, no doubt the same slave Fanny bequeathed to her in the 1775 Lunenburg Co. will of her brother Daniel* Thweatt. Susanna Heaths Cureton was probably the wife of Nathan Hunter who was executor of the 1833 Newberry Co. S. C. will of Edward Thweatt. The latter named Susanna his heir should his grandchildren die without issue. Hannah* (Thweatt) Dawes Cureton, born 1752 and died 28 April 1821, is buried in Prospect Cemetery in Newberry Co., S. C near her son Daniel Thweatts Cureton (1788-1862) and his family. Daniel's tombstone records that he came to South Carolina in 1789, thus dating the Thweatt-Cureton migration to that state. Johns Thweatt (Henrys, James i ) along with brothers Henrys and Georges, uas granted 385 acres on Chamberlains Bed in Prince George County in 1738, although he was only 16 at the time. At a court held in Amelia Co. on 20 Nov. 1741, he was released from paying taxes as being poor and infirm, and it is not certain if he married and raised a family. Several unplaced Thweatts are tentatively assigned to him, particularly Edward and David who appear in the same part of South Carolina where the family of Johns's brother Edwards had settled. These stray Thweatts could also have been the issue of Edwards (James*, James i )

One Thomas Thweatt of Dinwiddie was appointed an executor of the 1773 Lunenburg will of Daniel Thweatt* (Edwards, Henry* , Jamesi), but declined to serve. He is probably the Thomas, who as a resident of Dinwiddie Co. bought 200 acres in Halifax Co. xn 1771, and having moved to Halifax, Co. sold the same in 1777. Nothing more is known of him. William Thweatt witnessed the latter deed. One William Thweatt, a poor man, appears in the contemporary Halifax Co. redords but should not be confused with William* (Henrys, Henrys, Jamesi ) . He may well have been the William in the B. R. P. , born to Edwards and Mary Thweatt (James*, Jamesi )

A David Thweatt was involved in a suit in Amelia Co. in 1765 and is possibly the same who sold land in Edgefield Co. S.C. in 1777. David of Edgefield may be related to David Thweatt, a modest farmer, who appeared in the 1830 census in Charleston Co., S.C, and as "of St. James, Goose Creek", died testate in 1836 mentioning a son William and several daughters.

One Edward* Thweatt, Jr. brought suit against John Anderson in 1767. The British mercantile claims for Lunenburg Co. in 1803 reveal Edward had moved south in 1787 or 1788 where he died. (Va. Gen. 18, p. 282). In 1794 Edward and Catherine Thweatt signed a mortgage in Edgefield Co. S.C. It is not known if this was Katy, the widow of Edwards Thweatt of Lunenburg (d. 1784), who had moved to South Carolina or the wife of the Edward in the mortgage. Edward is probably the same who appears on the

73 1800 census of Newberry Co., S. C. and the father of Daniels

John5 , and Edwards who appear in the later census records of that county. It may be that Edward had married a cousin, one of the daughters of Edwards and Katy Thweatt. This would explain the presence of Edward on the 1794 mortgage above, the name of his son Daniel, and the bequest in the will of his son Edwards in 1833, who devised his estate to the heirs of Susannah H.&Hunter, grand-daughter to Edwards and Katy Thweatt, should his own grand—chi ldren die without issue. Edward-* died prior to 1803 but there is no record of his estate. His presumed sons Daniels, Edwards and Johns appear in the Newberry Co. S. C. records. By 1830 Daniels uas living in Orangeburg Co. S. C. He was likely the ancestor of several Thweatt families in Alabama, the progenitors of whom give South Carolina as their birthplace in the census of 1850. Edward5 Thweatt remained in Newberry Co. where his will, dated 18 June 1833, was approved on 25 Oct. 1836. He mentioned his wife Margaret, his grandchildren Simon6 and Caroline 6 Quattlebaum and their father Joseph, and directed that if his grandchildren died without issue, his estate should go to the heirs of Susanna 6 H. Hunter [no relationship mentioned]. She was the daughter of Hannah-* Thweatt Cureton

(Edwards, Henryz , James* ) . Later Newberry Co. records show that Edward's widow Margaret died in 1845, by which time his grand—daughter Nancy Caroline 6 was married to John J. Cook.

According to census records Johns Thweatt, presumably the son of Edward*, was born about 1780. There is an interesting sketch of him in Annals of Newberry, S. C. (by O'Neal. (1849) p. 86) which states John was born in Virginia and moved on to Georgia. Newberry Co. deeds show that he married Elizabeth, the daughter of Levi and Elizabeth Manning. By the census of 1830 John was in Upson Co. 6a. he and Elizabeth had sons Levi Manning 6 Thweatt and John W. 6 Thweatt. Both were in Eufala, Alabama at the time of the 1860 census. The descendants of 6 Levi , b. 1821 appear in Silas (p. 135). John W. 6 Thweatt, born in South Carolina in 1815, had a son John M. f Thweatt b. 1850 whose issue appears in Silas (p. 110).

Henry Thweatts, (Henrys, James i ) lived in Dinwiddie Co. where the tax records list his death in 1795. The name of his wife is unknown, but the frequent use of the name Giles among the descendants of this Henry suggests that she may be a member of that family. A William Giles left a will in Henrico Co. in 1692 and William and Mary Giles were among the early settler of Amelia Co. Henry Thweatt 's niece Ann Thweatt Powell wrote in 1877 that all the sons except one, of Henry, whom she called

Uncle Hal, moved to Halifax Co. ( Silas , p. 147).

Issue of Henry Thweatt:

1. Obedience-* Thweatt - of whom later.

Ik 2. William-* Thueatt - of whom later.

3. Thomas* Thueatt — b. 1751 - of whom later.

4. Giles* Thweatt - of whom later.

5. Henry* Thweatt — remained in Dinwiddie - of whom later.

6. Peter* Thweatt. The only reference to him is in the autobiography of Henry C. 5 Thweatt, b. 1807, who said that as a child he spent his summers with his uncle and aunt Peter* and Nancy Thweatt, who, with their children, were members of the Baptist Church. There is no trace of Peter in the records of either Halifax or Dinwiddie Co. , and the U.S. Census for Virginia for the period is incomplete. It is possible he was the father of I sham Reese Thweatt who was born in Dinwiddie in

1783 and later moved to Tennessee ( Silas , p. 124) and of other contemporary unplaced Thweatts in Tennessee.

Obedience* Thweatt, (Henrys, Henrys, James*) married in

1767 Thomas Cardwell of Dinwiddie Co. , probably a descendant of Thomas Cardwell who owned 350 acres in Henrico Co. at the time of the 1704 quit rent roll. Thomas Cardwell of Dinwiddie died prior to 1782 according to the tax lists. In 1789 his children brought suit against their mother and Henry Thweatt as administrators of his estate. Listed in the suit were: Williams

, Henrys, Janes, Thomass and Elizabeths Cardwell. Obedience* Cardwell last appears on the Dinwiddie tax lists in 1795. She moved to Halifax Co. where she is said to have married secondly her brother in-law Daniel Cardwell and died on 25 Nov. 1822. The will of her daughter Janes Cardwell, dated 3 Jan. 1795, was recorded in Dinwiddie Co. in Feb. 1798. She mentioned her mother Obedience and appointed Henry Thweatt executor. Witnesses were William and Thomas Cardwell. ( Some Wills From the Burned Counties of Virginia , W. L. Hopkins, 1987, p. 26).

Of the other Cardwell children, only Thomas5 , Jr. is traced. His Halifax Co. marriage to Mary, the daughter of Jeffrey Palmer, was dated 22 Dec. 1795. The 1819 Halifax Co. will of her father mentioned among others, grand-daughters Susanna^ and Obediences Cardwell. Thomass Cardwell was dead by 22 Nov. 1815 when the Halifax Co. marriage of his daughter Obedience^ to William St owe was recorded, his widow Polly givng her consent.

William Thweatt* (Henrys, Henrys, James i ) lived at times in Lunenburg, Charlotte and Halifax counties. Estate accounts in Halifax Co. show that he was a teacher. He was a justice in Lunenburg Co. in 1779. He married first Dyce Farmer, listed as wife of William Thweatt in the 1780 Lunenburg Co. will of her father Lodowick Farmer. William married secondly Sally Gilliam, in Charlotte Co. , Va. [marriage bond dated 1785]. He and Sally were named in the 1792 Charlotte Co. will of her father James Gilliam and William Thweatt was named executor. Ann, another

75 daughter of Lodowick Farmer had married James East ham, who died intestate in Lunenburg Co. in 1792. In Halifax County in 1793 Ann East ham and William Thueatt, as administrators of James Eastham's estate, sold land. William Thueatt and Dyce Farmer had at least one child, Thomass Thueatt. In 1807 Thomas Thueatt, Jr. sold 150 acres in Halifax Co. bordering on James Eastham, a James and Thomas Eastham uitnessing the deed. They uere probably sons of James Eastham and Ann Farmer and hence cousins to Thomas Thueatt, Jr. James Eastham, Jr. marrried Elizabeth Coleman, sister to Jane Coleman, the second uife of Capt. Thomas-* Thueatt and he uas also a teacher. Thomass Thueatt, Jr. may have joined his father in his move to Tennessee about this time. It is thought William Thueatt is the person of that name uho appears on the 1810 census for Rutherford Co. , Tenn. uith six children and fourteen slaves. His children by his second uife Sally Gilliam and their descendants are given in Silas (p. 87).

Thomas Thueatt-* (Henrys, Henryz , James*) entered the army in 1776 and served as captain in the 14th Va. Line, and is said to have served for seven years. He settled in Halifax Co. uhere in 1792 he married Susanna Barksdale, the sister of Sarah, the uife of his brother Giles-* Thueatt. They uere the daughters of Nathaniel Barksdale uhose uill uas probated in Halifax Co. in 1790. [By his first marriage Thomas-* Thueatt had one son Elisha Barksdales Thueatt uho attended the University of North Carolina in 1812 and uas in Prince Eduard Co. in 1833. There is no record of him after that.] ( Barksdale Family History and

Genealogy . John A. Barksdale, 1940, p. 59). Thomas-* married secondly Jane, the daughter of Williamson Coleman of Dinuiddie Co. by his uife Million Hardauay. She uas born in 1777 and died shortly after the birth of her only child Henry Coleman^ Thueatt in 1807. The latter urote that his grandfather Henrya Thueatt and Williamson Coleman uere distantly related. Thomas-* Thueatt in his 1814 Halifax Co. uill mentioned his tuo sons and left his son Henry 293 acres in Dinuiddie Co. being the land my father Henry Thueatt 's family lived on and left to me in his will". He also uilled his son Henry 1,000 acres on the Cumberland River in Livingston Co. Ky. His brother Giles-* Thueatt and friends Peter and Armistead Barksdale uere appointed executors and guardians of his sons. Henry C. Thueatt attended the University of North Carolina in 1824 and later the University of Virginia. He married his maternal first cousin Amy Ann Gooduyn Boisseau in Petersburg on 24 Jan. 1827 [marriage bond]. She was a 2 descendant of Joseph Goodwyn and Martha Thweatt a (John , James* ) . Henry and Amy Thweatt first lived on a plantation in Dinwiddie Co. which they named "Denmark" because it was near the Peterson Goodwyn place named "Sweden". Later they moved to Louisiana where Henry Thweatt had a distinguished career as a Methodist minister died in 1887. In 1853 Thweatt wrote a three volume autobiography, now in the possession of descendants in Texas. Excerpts from this appear in Silas (pp. 120-123), which is

76 also the reference for the descendants of H. C. and Amy Thweatt. In the biography Henry mentioned a visit to Thomas Jefferson while Thweatt was a student at the University of Virginia. Jefferson told him that he had known his father before and after the war and that there were family connections between the Thweatts, Epps, Peterson, s and Goodwyns. Giles Thweatt*, (Henrys, Henrys, James * ) settled in Halifax County where he married Sarah Barksdale. He died in 22 Nov. 1823 aged 72. ( Family Visitor , p. 196). His will, dated 30 Dec. 1810, was probated in Halifax Co. in Nov. 1823. In addition to the children listed below, he mentioned his wife Sarah, his grand-daughter Martha T. Nash, and appointed Peter Barksdale, William Britton and John S. Pleasants executors. His daughters Mary, Lucy, and Fanny were unmarried at the time the will was made. The dates are from Halifax Co. marriage bonds. Issue of Giles and Sarah Thweatt:

1. Bettys Thweatt m. William Britton, 24 April 1797

2. Susann s Thweatt m. Samuel Quarles 14 May 180b

3. Sarahs Thweatt m. Charles F. Nash 29 Nov. 1806

6. Marys Thweatt m. William Verser 24 Jan. 1814

7. Lucy Claibornes Thweatt, b. 1793 m. Beverly Sydnor of Mecklenburg Co. 2 Aug. 1816

8. Henry Thweatts , b. 1782 first married Mary A. E. whose surname is not known. They moved to Prince Edward Co. She died without issue and her will, recorded in Petersburg in 1845, devised to Henry a tract of land he had made over to her in Prince Edward Co. Henry is said to have married secondly a Michaux. The 1850 Prince Edward Co. census lists an infant Henry Thweatt born in Petersburg in the household "of these Michaux". It is probable Henry Thweatt had married a daughter of Jesse who died in childbirth. There is no record that the infant survived, and Henry Thweatt died in Richmond in 1863 at the age of 80.

Henry Thweatt-* (Henrys, Henrys, James i ) lived in Dinwiddie Co. where he married Jane, the daughter of James Hardaway and Million Stanfield. He died in 1821 leaving a will which was destroyed when the Dinwiddie Co. records were burned in 1833. However a copy was registered in Greene Co. Alabama in 1839 where his daughter Lucy and her husband Bradford Burge had settled. According to this copy, dated 3 July 1821 and recorded

77 . .

17 Sept. of the same year, Henry Thweatt mentioned his wife Jane, his son James, son Thomas, daughter Mildred Jones and her children, daughter Lucy and her husband Bradford Burge and his grand children Angylina and Henry Green. Appointed executors were his wife Jane, son Thomas, John Wynn, Stanfield Hardaway and Williamson Coleman, Sen. The will mentions the same heirs except for Angelina Green who had probably died. Henry Giles Green was appointed executor.

Issue of Henry Thweatt and Jane Hardaway.

1. Hardaways Thweatt - lived in Halifax Co. but d.s.p. before his father

2. Jamess Thweatt — the records indicate that he was i ncompetent

( Dinwiddie Data . Thomas P. Hughes, 1975, p. 48; future references will be Data )

6. Mildreds Thweatt m. Kennon Jones who died in 1826

( Data , p. 7) Mildred Jones calling herself daughter of Henry Thweatt deceased and widow of Kennon Jones made a deed of gift in Dinwiddie Co. on 12 June 1835 to the following children:

Henrys k. ; Johns S. ; Robert H.s ; Mary Anns Grigg; Kennons; and Jamess Jones. According to the Bible records of John S. Jones, Mildred Thweatt Jones died 12 Aug. 1839, and her only daughter Mary Ann Jones Grigg died on 14 May 1847. The present whereabouts of the Bible itself are unknown. From other sources Mary Anns Jones had married in 1831 Dr. Thomas Burwell Grigg of Dinwiddie Co. and had four children by him. Dr. Grigg moved to Montgomery Co. Alabama in 1834. Of the sons of Kennon and Mildreds Thweatt Jones, Robert Hardaways Jones (1807-1874) married Seigniora Banister Archer (1817-1881) and moved to Mississippi. (Records of Mrs. W. Lytle Nichol in Memphis. )

George^ Thweatt (Marys, Henrys, James i ) lived in Dinwiddie County all his life. His wife Grace is said to have been a Thompson. On 28 Oct. 1762 in Amelia Co., Edward and Katy

78 Thweatt and George and Grace Thueatt deeded two tracts of land, one of which, referring to an earlier deed, had been purchased from Edward Mitchell by Henry Thweatt in 1735. According to the Dinwiddie Co. tax lists the death of George Thweatt occurred in 1791. The Dr. Robert Walker account book in the Virginia Historical Society records the death of Grace, the mother of Georges Thweatt in 1792. Annies Thweatt Powell, the grand-daughter of George* and Grace Thweatt wrote that they had had twelve children, all but two of whom married ( Silas , p. 147). This statement is partly substantiated by the Dinwiddie Co. tax lists and from material in the Thweatt-Hutchings letters written by members of the family who had remained in Virginia to those who had moved to Tennessee. Excerpts from these letters appear in Data . In addition, other sources say that there was a daughter Martha, a daughter who married a Gholston, and a daughter Frances who married John Leach. ( Silas , p. 137). It maybe relevant that a Frances Leach appears on the Dinwiddie Co. Tax lists 1798-1800 with a George Leach in her household. One Harmon Thweatt appears in the household of Williams Thweatt, son of George-* on the personal property lists in 1788. He then appears in the household of George Thweatt Jr. until the death of the latter in 1795. Harmond then appears alone until 1798 when there is no further mention of him. His relationship to the George Thweatt family is not known.

Issue of George and Grace Thweatt:

1. Williams Thweatt - of whom later.

2. Joseph5 Thweatt — of whom later.

3. Georges Thweatt Jr. - d.s.p. in 1795.

4. Char less Thweatt - of whom later.

5. Stephens Thweatt - d. s. p.

12. Marys Thueatt m. James Sturdivant. (See this magazine, Vol. 4, #3, p. 134). His death on 24 Nov. 1840 as James Sturdivant Sr. of Dinwiddie Co. Va. appeared in the Raleigh Register on 1 Jan. 1841.

William +Thweatt (Georges, Henry2 , James i ) appeared on the Dinwiddie Co. tax lists in 1782 with 200 acres. He and his wife Frances were listed together on the personal property tax list in 1788, probably to differentiate him from another William. She is said to have been Frances Daniels and as she had a son named Harwood, it is, significant that a Harwood Daniels appears on the 1782 Dinwiddie Co. land tax list. Among descendants in Tennessee, Harwood became Howard. William's son Williams first appears as a tithable in 1805, Harwoods in 1807, and Peters in 1810. William* Thueatt moved to Williamson Co. Tenn. about 1813 and had died prior to 1820 when the estate of his widow Frances was divided among the surviving children: Harwoods, Elizabeths Coleman, Nancys Mayberry, and Williams, Elizabeths, and Peters, children of Williams, deceased. ( Miscellaneous Records

Williamson Co. Tenn . Vol. 2, Louise G. Lynch 1976).

Issue of William and Frances Thueatt ; (The marriage dates are from Williamson County marriage bonds.

1. Harwoods Thueatt, b. 1787 m. 1815 Elizabeth Echols, b. 1787. See Silas p. 138) for issue.

5. Nancys Thweatt m. 1818 Job Mayberry and had issue: Henrys anci Americuss Mayberry. ( Silas , p. 138).

6. Williams Thweatt died before 1820. He is said to have married Rebecca Thompson. According to Data (p. 7) a Rebecca Thweatt and Joshua Coleman died in Tennessee in 1825. Miscellaneous Records (Louise G. Lynch, 1976) refers to the estate of William Thweatt in 1825. He had a daughter Elizabeths Thweatt who married Samuel Blake, and sons William Howards Thweatt, b. 1811, and Peter Bookers Thweatt, b. 1814. For the former and his descendants see Silas (p. 159). Peter B. sThweatt married his first cousin. Francess Thweatt, b. 1818 in

1833 and settled in Arkansas (See Silas , p. 112, 140 for descendants )

80 Joseph* Thueatt, (Georges, Henrys, James*) lived in Dinwiddle Co. The name of his first wife and the mother of his children is said to have been Patsy Gunn. ( Silas » p. 137). He married secondly Sally Powell in Brunswick. Co. on 1 April 1809. Her 1829 Brunswick Co. will only mentions her Powell relatives. Joseph-* Thweatt died 15 May 1818, leaving four daughters and several sons. ( Data , p. 3,5. ) Only the names of two of the daughters are known: Elizabeths Thweatt and Rhodas , the wife of David Thacker. The Dinwiddie Co. marriage bond of Aliens, son of Joseph-* Thweatt, to Nancy Southerland was dated 1 Dec. 1818. She may have been his first cousin. He d.s.p. in 1840 in

Dinwiddie Co. , devising his whole estate to his wife. Ephraims Thweatt appeared as a tithable in his father's household in 1801. In 1810 he and his wife Henrietta ( ), sold land in Nottoway Co. where they were then living. Ephraim is said to have been a Baptist preacher. He died intestate in Halifax Co. , Va. in 1822 with Elisha Barksdale as administrator of his estate. The only issue of record is a daughter Martha T. e Thweatt who married Asa J. Pritchott in Brunswick Co. on 27 Nov. 1826, her mother Henrietta giving consent.

Charles'* Thweatt (Georges, Henryz , James*) resided in

Dinwiddie Co. where he died 26 Mar. 1827. ( Data , p. 8) His wife Elizabeth is thought to have been a Manson. Their son Archibalds Thweatt, according to Dinwiddie Co. deed, sold the home plantation in 1830, reserving the graveyard.

Issue of Charles and Elizabeth Thweatt:

1. Georges Thweatt m. Ariadne Manlove in 1822 and moved to

Georgia. ( Data , p. 7).

B. Tucker proves that Dilsey is the sister of Tabb, by the mother 8 that Beck was the daughter of Dilsey. Mr. Blanton also proves Beck to have been the daughter of Dilsey To the honorable Thomas T. Bouldi n Judge of the Superior Court of law for the County of Brunswick, your petitioner Amos Butcher Humbly sheweth to your honors that he is the son of Beck, who was the daughter of Dilcey Butcher, who was the daughter of Molly, who was the daughter of Moriah, who was the daughter of old Indian Bess — that he is therefore linially descended in the maternal line from the Appalachian race of Indians who have, or the most of them recovered their freedom, an various courts of this Commonwealth — that old Bess is the female progenitor of your petitioner who has recovered her freedom many years ago, of which there now exists a record as well as divers of her descendants. That for want of time petitioner your has not been able to say by what testimony he can connect himself with the aforementioned ancestry but he expects when time shall be allowed him to procure ample testimony to that end. That at present he is held in slavery by a certain David Hobbs and he now prays your honor to allow him to sue the in court in forma pauperis for the recovery of his freedom, which to by law he is advised he is entitled — and your petitioner will forever pray, 8c Amos Butcher [signed by Amos??]

1 Edward B. Hicks an attorney at law assigned as counsel for the petitioner Amos Butcher by the Judge of the Sup. Court of iaw for the County of Brunswick do hereby certify that it is my opinion from the facts stated in the foregoing petition entitles the petitioner- to his freedom. Given under my hand this the 3th day of April 1822 [crossed out] it will probably be provRd that Amos is the son of Beck and that he will be able to shew that Beck is the daughter of Dilsey who was the daughter of Jones's Holly, who died before she recovered her freedom, who was the daughter of Horeah, who was the daughter of Bess, who was an Indian of the Apelachuan tribe of Indians [crossed out] brought into this Commonwealth by Rob. Hicks before the year 1705. I also certify that it is highly probable that evidence can be procured to prove that the petitioner is nearly related in the maternal line to many of the descendants of Bess, who have recovered their freedom, of which records can be produced; but it is impossible to state in what way or by whom it can be done. From the enquiries I have made, I have but little doubt that the petitioner is one of the numerour offspring of old Bess as above stated. Given under my hand this 9th day of April 1622. [singed] E. B. Hicks

120 As "there are no supporting papers, it is impossible to tell the cause of the suit, but it is possible to make an highly educated guess upon examining the parties involved.

Green Hill married Mary Booth, daughter of George, dec. in Sussex County on 20 May 1773.

This marriage seems to be important in the suit, as it is the siblings of the bride and groom who are in the suit. Green Hill died testate in .1800 Sussex Co. (Will Book F, p. 199). He mentions his wife Mary; son Henry (not 21); son William; daughter Martha; nephew Richard Long, son of Nicholas and Rebecca; nephew Richard Hill, son of brother Richard; Green Hill Booth, son of John of Georgia; executor Stith Parham. The son Henry Hill died testate in Sussex Co. in 1820 (Will Book 1, p. 130). He mentions Green H. Booth,; wife Elizabeth; Smith Parham and daughter Henrietta Elizabeth Parham; brother William.

The son William Hill died testate in Sussex Co. in 1830 (Will Book L, p. 120). He mentions his cousin Richard Stith Parham; deceased father Green Hill; sister Elizabeth Hill; Smith Parham; Green Hill Booth; Henrietta Elizabeth Parham; Nancy Graves. The suggestion from these wills is that this line died out. It would appear that property reverted to the paternal and maternal heirs of William Hill, as the last surviving male issue of Green and Mary Booth Hill.

The paternal relations: the HILL family. Richard Hill and his wife Marjorie had the following children listed in the Albemarle Parish Register: Sarah Hill born 14 Sept. 1743 William Hill born 3 Mar. 1746 Hannah Hill born 25 Dec. 1748 Green Hill born 2b Nov. 1751 Richard Hill born 18 May 1754 Thomas Hill born 19 June 1757 Mary Hill born 15 Apr. 1760, died 2 Nov. 1761 Henry Hill born Dec. 1762 Howell Hill born Dec. 1762 William Gilliam Hill born 28 Mar. 1765, died Dec. 1764 fsicj

Capt. Richard Hill died 9 July 1775. He died testate in Sussex Co. (Will Book C, p. 175). He mentions wife Margery; daughter Rebecca Hill; son Green Hill; son Richard Hill (land in Dinwiddie Co. ); son Thomas Hill (land in Brunswick Co. ); daughter Sarah Ruff in; grandchildren: Thomas, Robert, Hannah, Sarah Ruff in; son-in-law William Ruff in. This will indicates that only Rebecca, Green, Richard, Thomas, Sarah survived their father. We have determined that the extinction of Green's line is probably thee cause of the suit.

121 Hannah Hill seess to have married Ephraim Parhaia is Sussex Co. on 15 Nov. 1764 and died childless. Her husband married again in 1767.

Thomas died intestate in 1795 without issue. His sale of land, bequeathed to him by his father with a reversion to his brother Richard, was the cause of a suit in Brunswick County District Court, judgment granted 2 Oct. 1799 and appealed to the Court of Appeals on 26 April 1803.

The heirs of Richard Hill, Jr. listed in the suit are Berryroan Hill, Francis Irby and wife Sally, Thomas Hunt and wife Hannah, Richard Hill, Thomas Hill, Polly Hill. Richard Hill, Jr. had died by Aug. 1789 when a guardian was appointed for his children Berryroan Jones, Richard, Thomas, Sarah, Hannah, Polly Hill (Dinwiddie Co. Order Book. 1789-91, p. 87). Richard Hill married Mary Jones, daughter of Lucrecia Jones (Sussex Co. Deed Book. F, P. 121 ).

Rebecca Hill married in Sussex Co. on 30 Jan. 1788 to Nicholas Long. The Longs moved to Georgia. The Telfair Personal Papers at the Virginia State Archives (Ace. 32226) contain a great deal of information on this line. The children of this couple were: Richard H. Long born 1 Oct. 1791, died 8 Dec. 1865,

married 12 Nov. 1813 in Wilkes Co. , GA, Ann G. Hay John Junius Long died Juno 6, 1659 Margaret Long married 16 Mar. 1809 in Wilkes Co. , GA, Thomas Telfair

Sarah R. Long married Oct. 15, 1822 in Wilkes Co. , GA, James Rembert

Frances Eliza L. Long married June 7, 1830 in Wilkes Co. , GA, Alfred B.C. DuBose

Eugenia A. Long married Mar. 20, 1827 in Wilkes Co. , GA, Lock Weems. She left an only son William Junius Weems born Dec. 5, 1827.

Sarah Hill married in Sussex Co. on 9 Apr. 1762 to William Ruff in of Edgecombe Co. NC. The children listed in Richard Hill 's will were ThoBias, Robert, Hannah, Sarah. The division of William Ruff in in Dec. 1781 (Northampton Co. NC Guardian Accounts, 1781-93, p. 3) was between Sarah, Robert, Hannah, Sally, Rebecca Ruff in. The division of Robert Ruff i n was petitioned by the heirs in Oct. 1788 (Halifax Co. NC). He had lived in Northampton Co. , NC and died testate. The heirs were: sister Hannah, wife of Marmaduke Norfleet; mother Sarah, who married James Smith in 1785; sisters Sarah and Rebecca Ruffin (minors). Marmaduke Norfleet died testate in Halifax Co. NC in

1818, and his widow married in Halifax Co. , NC on 11 Jan. 1820 James Gee. Sally L. G. Ruffin married William Rhodes (Halifax Co. Deed Books 17, p. 915; 19, p. 60, TO) and died in Halifax Co. on 19 Nov. 1815, leaving 2 daughters (Obituary). On 12 Nov. 1819 Dr. William Terrell of Sparta, GA married Miss William

122 Eliza Rhodes in Halifax Co. NC. In Hancock Co. GA Joel Crawford married Sarah. L. Rhodes [bond undated]. Klizabeth Hill, the widow of Henry Hill [son of Green] married William Parham S. on 27 Oct. 1823 in Sussex Co. This is- confirmed by the land tax lists for Sussex Co. The suit lists another heir, Richard S. Parham. He is be the said to son of Mary Parham, daughter of Richard Hill, Sr is Mary listed as deceased in the 1761 in the Albemarle Parish Register, and she is not mentioned in her father's will There is no marriage bond for her in Sussex Co. Perhaps she is the same as Polly, daughter of Richard Hill, Jr. That there is a relationship is confirmed by William Hill's will which refers to Richard Stith Parham as cousin.

The maternal relations: the BOOTH Family. George Booth died testate on 14 Aug. 1763, aged 84 in Sussex Co. [Albemarle Parish Register]. He mentions his' son>n George and the latter 's son George. He also mentions, other among heirs, his grandchildren: Reuben, Thomas, Gilliam, John Mary Booth.

Reuben Booth died testate in Brunswick Co. in Book 1775 (Will 4, p. 248). He mentions his wife Rebecca; his nephew William Maclin; daughter Nancy (not 18); brother Mary John; sister Hill; nephew George Booth, son of George; nephew William Booth, son of Gilliam Booth; neice Lucy Gilliam Booth, daughter Ihomas Booth; brothers George, Gilliam Booth. This siblings confirms the in the will of George Booth (d.1763) and the relationship of Mary Booth Hill to these individuals Nancy Booth, the daughter of Reuben, married Isaac Hicks in Brunswick Co on Apr. 22 1782. Isaac Hicks died testate in Brunswick Co in 1817 (Will Book 8, p. 339). He mentions sons: Reuben Thomas; B daughters: Rebecca Booth, Elizabeth B. Booth, Booth, Sally Minerva Hicks. The following marriages are found Brunswick in Co.- Benjamin Booth and Sally Hicks, 29 Oct 1810- Gilliam Booth and Rebecca Booth, 26 Aug. 1802; Robert C Booth and Elizabeth B. Hicks, 28 Sept. 1809, Minerva Hicks and John Cabmass, 1 Dec. 1818. rrom tombstones in Dinwiddle : Elizabeth Co Hicks Booth, born 2 May 1792, died 10 Oct. 1853 husband Robert Cryer Booth, born 3 Nov. 1790, died Rebecca 13 Nov* 1850- Booth, born 13 Jan. 1784, died 12 Mar. 1854; Booth, Gilliam Jr., born 26 Oct. 1781, died 27 July 1821; Sarah Hicks Booth, 1^95-1879; Benjamin Booth, 1787-1834. The suit is clearer about some of the Booth heirs and easier it will be to divide them according to the suit and provide supplementary documentation when available.

NOTTOWAY COUNTY MARRIAGES

by L. H. Hart

The following marriages are inferred from court records located in Order Books Nos. 9, 10 for Nottoway Co. covering the years 1823-1832. The date given is the court date at which the reference is located; it is not the date of the marriage, but an indication that the marriage had occurred by the date of the court action. The information is primarily obtained from court suits and is of significance because the marriage bonds of Nottoway Co. are no longer extant.

160 DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS RIDLEY by L. H. Hart Thomas Ridley and Nathaniel Ridley appear together as headnghts of William tlaye, when he receives a patent of land in Isle of Wight Co. on 28 Oct. 1702 [Patent Book 9, p 471] The descendants of Nathaniel lived in Isle of Wight Co. Southampton [later Co. 1 and are well documented. The line of Thomas Ridley has not been followed heretofore. Thomas appears to have lived in Surry Co. where he is found as a tithable in the household of Joseph John Jackman 1702-1 in ?03. Nathaniel Ridley is listed as a friend and is made an executor by Joseph John Jackman in his 1714 will Probate [Principal Registry, Probate Act Book 17141. Nathaniel and Ridley are Thomas witnesses to deeds in Isle of Wight Co. in 1706, 1710, 1713. The deeds involved John Fiveash and Elias Hodge 1 16 f W1Sht C °- °eed B °°k 2 57 ' P- Edmond Briggs and Joseph t ^ r° , ^ John Jackman [ Ibid. , p. 208] , Martha Harrison and Matthew Jordan [ Ibid. , p. 2563 , Susannah Jordan and William Harrison ClbicL., p. 2763. The implication is that there is relationship a between Nathaniel and Thomas Ridley, probably that they are brothers. It is also noted that Nathaniel named one of his sons Thomas. At present it has not been determined parents whom the of these men are, but the preponderence of evidence suggests that they were brothers. Thomas Ridle V married Mary Williams, . daughter of ,t--,iWilliams Charles of Surry Co. who died testate in 1721 [Deed Book and Will ?, p. 3573. This fact is confirmed by a deed from Mary the Wid ° Wj to her daughter Mary Ridley [Deeds & 1/15iltiZ?' Wills 30, p. 2361. She gives her land willed to the elder Mary by Robert Caufield in 1691 [Deeds 8 Wills No. 4, p. 2401 . Ridley died Thomas in 1719 when an inventory of his estate was [Deeds and returned Wills 1715-30, p. 174]. An account of Thomas Ridley's estate is returned by William and Mary Seward, the administratrix. It is as Mary Seward that she is listed in her father Charles Williams' will. William Seward died testate in Surry Co in 1761 mentioning his sons William, Henry; daughter Ann Thomas; and Elizabeth Hamlin, wife of Richard. His son William testate Seward died in 1771, mentioning the above siblings and his in law William brother Drew. The inventory of William Seward is not that of a married man, nor is there any indication ever that he was married. The other explanation for brother in that law would be of a sister's husband— no sister is unaccounted according for to the will of William Seward, Sr. The solution probable is that William Drew married Mary Ridley the half-sister [or possibly step! of William Seward. ' William had a wife Drew named Mary according to a deed in 1767 [Surry Deed Book Co 8, p. 3293 and according to his 1778 will.

164 PERSON, DELONY, JEFFERSON, FIELD, BRANCH, SOANE

by Anne White Dobbins

Having read with appreciation Lyndon Hart's very helpful article, "Person Family, " in The Southside Virginian , vol. 7, no. 2, April 1989, I was moved to enlarge upon an ancestral line which Joined that of the Persons through Thomas 3 Person (Thomas

Person, Jr. ) , of Brunswick County, Virginia, as mentioned on page 53 of that article.

Mr. Hart stated clearly that it was not his purpose to write "the definitive work on the Person family". What an overwhelming and unwieldy task that would be at this point. My own grandmother was Mary Lucy Person Claud, of Southampton County, Virginia, granddaughter of John Anthony Person, and the mother of eleven children. As prolific a family as we are, however, it seems to me that most Person relatives are unaware of the fascinating genealogical gold already mined in regard to the line of the wife of Thomas 3 Person.

Thomas married Mary Delony, daughter of Henry Delony and Frances Jefferson (m. b. 19 September 1768, Mecklenburg County, Va. - original in Va. State Archives). Mary's father, Henry Delony, was one of the executors of Thomas' will (prob. 23 Jan. 1783, Greensville County, Va. W. B. 1, pp. 26—28). One of Mary's and Thomas's daughters was named Frances Jefferson Person (Greensville County Marriage Register, p. 31).

Frances Jefferson's father was Field Jefferson, uncle of Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States. Many writers have failed to include Frances among the children of Field Jefferson and Frances Robertson, but an indenture between Henry Delony and Isham East in 1752, in which Henry's wife Frances relinquished her dower right (Lunenburg County, Va. Deed Book 2, pp. 468— 4TO), coupled with mention by Field Jefferson in his will (Mecklenburg County, Va. Will Book 1, pp. 4-7) of his granddaughter Mary Delony, and many references in county records of association between Field and Henry have created a "preponderance of evidence" situation now generally accepted by reliable genealogists. (See references to Frances in "A Husband for Phoebe", The National Genealogical Quarterly . Phoebe was Frances Jefferson's sister. ) Frances died shortly after the deed mentioned above, because a marriage bond was issued in

Brunswick County, Va. , 11 May 1753, for Henry Delony of Lunenburg County and Rebecca Brodnax Walker. They had five children.

165 .

From Field Jefferson and wife Frances Robertson, the genealogist concerned with Person lines can move with ease back through generations of Jeffersons, Fields, Branches, and Soanes, in addition to less researched lines. It is an interesting journey and one worthy of being followed by more and more Persons.

THE THWEATT FAMILY

Mary Martins Thweatt (John-*, Jamess, Johns, James i ) (1780-10 Mar. 1858) married 10 Feb. 1739 Richard Kidder Meade (1780-4 Mar. 1832) of "The Grove", Brunswick County, one of the two sons of Andrew Meade and Susannah Stith.

Mary3 Thweatt (John2 , James* ) married Urvin, the son of Burwell Brown and Mary Urvin, the daughter of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Urvin. Mary Thweatt and Urvin Brown lived in the part of Brunswick which became Greensville after 1779. His will, dated 23 Sept. 1775 was recorded in Brunswick Co. the following year and mentioned son Burwell, wife Mary, and the other children. She did not long survive him, and in her will, dated 17 April, 1778, she mentioned son Burwell, daughter Frances and her three youngest daughters.

Marys Thweatt and Urvin Brown had the following issue (Brunswick Guardians Bond, 25 Jan. 1779) three of whom reached maturity: 1. Frances4 Brown m. Mathew Mayes 2. Burwell* Brown - see later. 3. Irvin* Brown 4. Polly- Brown 5. Judith* Brown m. Turner Williamson 6. Betsey* Brown.

Burwell* Brown married Mary Ann Williamson in Southampton Co. on 17 Nov. 1784. He died intestate in 1791 leaving a child Pollys. His widow married Donaldson Turner in Greensville in 1794 but had no issue by him.

Frances* Brown married Mathew Mayes of Dinwiddie Co. who later moved to Greensville Co. His will, dated 9 April, 1796 and recorded the following December mentioned wife Frances, sons Urvin Br owns Mayes, Drury Spain5 Mayes, and Mathew Peterson5 Mayes and daughters Mary Thweatt 5 Mayes and Martha Pritchett 5 Mayes. The named executors were his wife and John* and Braddock* Goodywyn. The Goodwyns were first cousins to Frances.

Judith* Brown married Turner Williamson in Greensville Co. on 24 Oct. 1787. Her guardian and first cousin Peterson Goodwyn gave his consent. Judith and Turner Williamson had three

168 .

children: Burwell Browns Williamson, Francis Exum& Williamson, and Nancys Williamson, the wife of William Hines. This family group moved to Limestone County, Alabama.

Marthas Thweatt (John2 , James*) is listed as Martha Goodwyn in the 1758 will of her father John. That her husband's name was Joseph is proven by the 1763 Southampton will of her brother William3 Thweatt. Joseph and Martha are said to have lived at "The Martins" in Dinwiddie. An account of their family appears in G oodwin In America by John S. Goodwin, in two volumes, published as a supplement to the William and Mary Quarterly in

1899. This source will be henceforth referred to as Goodwin . The information therein is based on poorly authenticated family tradition and is in error in stating Joseph Goodwyn was the son of a Thomas and that Martha was a Peterson and not a Thweatt. One John Goodwyn migrated from the Dinwiddie area to South Carolina about 1760 and left a will in 1775 leaving a large family and devising his lands back in Dinwiddie Co. Va. to his sons Joseph and Boswell. It is likely that this is the Joseph Goodwyn who married Martha Thweatt and that he and his brother Boswell, who also appears in later Dinwiddie records had not joined the rest of the family in the move to South Carolina. Lucy, the wife of John Goodwyn of South Carolina is thought to have been as Eppes. See A History of Richland Co. S.C , Edwin L. Green (1932), p. 32. The last mention of Martha 3 (Thweatt) Goodwyn was in 1786 when she joined her husband Joseph and Boswell Goodwyn in selling land in Greensville. She was dead by 1794, when Joseph Goodwyn married in Sussex Co. on 28 Aug. 1794 Jane Robertson, the well— to—do, childless widow of James Robertson (d. 1793). In 1795 the Dinwiddie tax lists show

Joseph Goodwyn Sr. conveyed to Joseph Goodwyn, Jr. , his youngest son, his remaining land in that county. Jane (Robertson) Goodwyn died in 1798 and Joseph himself in 1799. According to

Goodwin , Joseph and Martha (Thweatt ) Goodwyn had sons Peterson, Esau, Braddock and Joseph with the possibility of John and Burwell. Records show there was a son John while Burwell belongs to the next generation; both John and Braddock having sons by that name.

Joseph* Goodwyn married Mary, the only child of John Scott Coleman of "Burnt Quarter" Dinwiddie. Joseph's will, dated 21 Feb. 1828, was recorded Dinwiddie Co. on 18 June 1838. His wife had pre— deceased him. He mentioned his son William H. , his daughter Mary Elizabeth C. , to whom he left "Burnt Quarter" and appointed executors brother Esau, John G. Boisseau, and son William. Issue: 1. Mary Elizabeths c. Goodwyn, b. 1812 m. John Y. Gilliam 2. William Henrys Goodwyn, married in Dinwiddie to Harriet Williamson on I May 1833. According to Goodwi n they had one child Mary Ann 6 Goodwyn who m. John Dodson.

Peterson* Goodwyn (Marthas Thweatt, Johns, James' ) . He was said to have been 73 at the time of his death in 1818 which would place his birth in 1745. However given the B. P. R. birthdate of his mother Martha on 31 Oct. 1732, he was probably born in 1746 or 1747. Goodwin and other sources state he and his brother Joseph were twins. Extant records, however, show that Joseph was much younger. It is possible that Peterson did have a twin who died young and that the surviving Joseph was the second of the name. Peterson Goodwyn was a colonel in the Revolution and Member of Congress from 1803 until his death. He married a cousin Elizabeth* Peterson. See this magazine Vol. VII, No. 1 p. 32. She died in 1818. According to the Dinwiddie Surveyor's Plat Book, certain land3 belonging to the estate of Peterson Goodwyn, deed, were divided Oct. 1820 between Albert, Edward 0. and Lucy Ann Goodwyn. Peterson Goodwyn and many of his family were buried in a vault at. his plantation "Sweden" in Dinwiddie. The vault, near the ruins of the douse, has been vandalized over the years and some of the inscriptions lost.

Albert T. s Goodwyn married first in 1825 Martha (1807-1831), the daughter of Major Elisha and Judith King of Dinwiddie County. He married 2nd his cousin Amelias Meade in 1834, the daughter of Richard K. and Mary (Thweatt 5 ) Meade. See Thweatt—Meade above for issue of first marriage. Children of Albert Goodwyn and Martha King: 1. George Whitneys Goodwyn m. Ella Morrison of Petersburg unt raced. 2. Dr. John Petersons Goodwyn (1826-1895) m. Martha Greenway (1830-1904) daughter of Robert Greenway of Dinwiddie." Dr. Goodwyn practiced at Stoney Creek in Sussex County.

Judiths Thweatt (John^, James 1 ) married prior to 1770 James Goodwyn, identified as her husband in the Brunswick. County will of her mother Judith (Peterson) Goodwyn in that year. According to the Albemarle Parish Register he was born 16 Aug. 1741, the son of John Goodwyn and Winifred Tucker. The relationship of James to Joseph Goodwyn, husband of his wife's sister Martha Thweatt has not been determined. However, members of both family groups settled in Richland County, S. C. and the names Amy and Boswell appear in both families. James and Judith lived in Dinwiddie County where few records remain. He had died prior to 1782 when the tax lists begin, and Judith is listed with 175 acres. She died in 1816. ( Dinwiddie Data . T.P. Hughes (1975) p. 4). The issue of James and Judith as listed below appears in Goodwin where it is stated the record was obtained from descendants in Alabama who in 1899 may have known some of the people in question. It is said that a court suit regarding Judith's estate gives the same list of children but a recent search has failed to locate this suit in the Dinwiddie records.

Issue of James and Judith (Thweatt) Goodwyn: 1. Nancy* Goodwyn — listed in the 1770 will of Judith Thweatt— not in Goodwin 2. a son* — name unknown - see below 3. Boswell* Goodwyn - probable though listed as unknown in Goodwin 4. Martha* Goodwyn - first wife of James Young 5. Judith* Goodwyn — second wife of James Young—d.s.p. 6. Angelina* Goodwyn m. Capt. Hardaway Young 7. Winifred Tucker* Goodwyn m. Capt. Henry Young 8. Robert* Goodwyn.

171 j*- Goodwyn (unknown son). His name was probably John. It may be relevant that Peterson Goodwyn was executor of a John Goodwyn in 1801 who cannot be identified. ( Prince Geo r ge

Miscellany , B. B. Weisiger III (1986), p. 10). There were two children by this unknown son: John Thweatts Goodwyn who married his paternal first cousin Harriet Goodwyn and a daughter Lucys Goodwyn who married a Mr. Innis and d.s.p. John T. s Goodwyn received 175 acres from the estate of Judith Goodwyn in 1818. This was probably the homeplace of James and Judith. Tax lists show she acquired other property before her death. Johns and Harriet died young, leaving daughters Marys Goodwyn and Lucy Anns Goodwyn who were reared by their aunt Lucy Innis.

Boswell'*- Goodwyn, probable. According to Goodwin , an unknown son of James and Judith had three daughters: Harriets Goodwyn m John T. 6 Goodwyn above; Holiys Goodwyn who m. first Thomas G. Hardaway, and an un- named daughter who married Mast in Abernathy. Dinwiddle County tax records show that the estate of Boswell Goodwyn-* d. 1812 was divided between John T. Goodwyn, Thomas G. Hardaway and Martin Abernathy who received a life interest only. All three men shared in the estate through the right of their wives. Holly T. s Goodwyn, whose middle name is said to have Thweatt married four times. Her first husband Thomas Goodwyn Hardaway was the son of Stith Hardaway and Sally

Goodwyn. According to Goodwin , Sally has not been identified. Holly had five children by this marriage. She married secondly a Mr. Ellis, thirdly Peterson Heath who left a Dinwiddie will in 1838 and finally, in Petersburg on 1 December 1833, Joshua G. Williamson. She died June 1845 leaving a will on file in Petersburg. No record of issue except by her first marriage.

Martha-* Goodwyn, above, married J.ames Young. On her death he married her sister Judith-*- who d.s.p. Tax records suggest he was the son of a Francis Young who may have married a Williamson. In the 1818 land tax iists James Young was charged with a life interest in 154 acres by the will of his mother-in-law Judiths Goodwyn. Goodwin lists the following issue of James and Martha; 1. Elizabeth Williamson5 Young m. James Young who is not identified. 2. Martha Anns Young d. s. p. 3. Dr. James 5 Young d.s.p. in Mississippi 4. Roberts Young d.s.p. in Mississippi.

Angelina^ Goodwyn and Winifred Tucker* Goodwyn married respectively Hardaway and Henry Young, the sons of Edward Young of Dinwiddie and his wife Kerenhappuch Hardaway. James Young who married Martha and Judith Goodwyn above is erroneously named in Goodwin as another brother. ( Thomas Ha rdaway of

Cnesterf ield County and His Descendants . S. E. Hubert (1906), p. 32).

Blow (1303-25) and died without issue, leaving a will (Southampton County Will Book II, p. 37). His main heir was his mother Susanna Cobb. Benjamin Cobb had married In Southampton County on 4 January 1809. According to chancery papers in Southampton, Robert and his son were painted by Jacob Marling, a noted portraitist of the period.

The original was located in Cumberland Co. , Box 4, 1795-97. It is reprinted with the kind permission of the Cumberland Circuit Court Clerk.

WILLIAMS. Berneice Yoder (3315 N. Midsummer Lane, Colorado Springs, CO 80317) Henry (Hal) WILLIAMS said to have been born in Cold Harbor, Hanover, VA. Possibly married a Miss Johns. Two known children: Jarrott died Revolutionary War; Hubbard born ca 1765 Charlotte County, VA. There were probably other children. Henry must have died prior to Jan. 2 1775 because a George Williams was appointed guardian to Hubbard Williams, orphan of Henry Williams on that date. George was still guardian as of 7 Dec 1778, but in 1784 Hubbard (being of lawful age) releases a John Smith from guardianship. Hubbard married Nancy (Jones) Pryor in 1783 and they migrated to KY ca 1800. Need all information on Henry Williams and his connection to the George Williams who was appointed guardian to Hubbard. Perhaps there was a relationship between Matthew HUBERT) (on rent rolls of James City County, VA in 1704) who d in Charles City County, VA ca 1724 and whose estate was to be divided between two daughters, one of whom married a John WILLIAMS (her name may have been All ice) and the Henry WILLIAMS that I am seeking—perhaps a grandfather or a father to Henry. Another suggestion, also unproved, was that there was a close relationship between Henry WILLIAMS and a Hubbard Bates WILLIAMS, who died in Charles City County between 1743 and 1756. HBW was executor of the will of James Williams in 1743; and James' widow married John Hopkins of James City County. Will answer all letters and share information.
